Johann Wenzel Anton Stamitz (Czech: Jan Václav Antonín Stamic; 18 June 1717, Deutschbrod, Bohemia – 27 March 1757, Mannheim, Electoral Palatinate) was a Bohemian composer and violinist.
His two surviving sons, Carl and Anton Stamitz, were scarcely less important composers of the Mannheim school, of which Johann is considered the founding father.
His music is stylistically transitional between Baroque and Classical periods.
