Johann Ludwig Christ (18 October 1739, in Öhringen – 19 November 1813, in Kronberg im Taunus)[1] was a German naturalist, gardener and pastor.

He was a specialist in Hymenoptera who published in 1791 Naturgeschichte, Klassifikation und Nomenklatur der Insekten vom Bienen, Wespen und Ameisengeschlecht. In 1791, he became the first person to describe Polistes dominula. He also studied fruit trees and wrote Vollständige Pomologie (2 volumes, 1809–1822).
