Johann Wilhelm Ebel (1784–1861) was a German Lutheran clergyman and teacher.
Ebel was born in Passenheim (Pasym), East Prussia, becoming a pastor in Königsberg.
He was one of the founders of the Mucker Society, a group with pronounced similarities to earlier Gnostic groups.
Ebel and the society were tried on a variety of charges relating to morality, all of which were dismissed after a six-year trial.
