Johann Peter Pichler (May 13, 1765 – March 18, 1807) was an Austrian engraver known for his mezzotints after old masters.

Pichler was born in Bozen (Bolzano) and was a pupil of Jacob Matthias Schmutzer (1733–1811) and Johann Jacobé (1733–1797), whose daughter he married.[1] He is known for works after paintings for the noble courts of Vienna and Dresden. He is sometimes mentioned as a relative of Anton Pichler, who was also born near Bozen, but no known relationship has been established.[1]
