Johannes Hinderbach (15 August 1418 – 21 September 1486) was Prince-Bishop of Trent^[1] from 12 May 1466 until his death. He was by birth a member of the Austrian nobility.^[2] Prior to his appointment as Bishop, he served as an advisor to the court of Fredrick III.^[3]

He was notable for his involvement in the case of Simon of Trent, a young boy who was found murdered in 1475; Hinderbach blamed the local Jews for his death (see blood libel), executed several of them, and promoted Simon's canonisation as a saint.

The only remnant of Hinderbach's tomb is a still existing memorial slab, exhibited at the Museo Diocesano Tridentino.^[4]
