Johann Sebastian Bach (21 Machi1685 hadi 28 Julai1750) alikuwa mtungaji wa muziki na mpiga piano na kinanda cha filimbi kutoka nchi ya Ujerumani. Alitunga muziki za aina zote, iliyotumika kidini na kidunia. Alitunga muziki kwa kwaya, chombo kimoja cha muziki, na kundi la wanamuziki (okestra). Ingawa hakuunda mifumo mipya ya muziki, alitajirisha mitindo ya muziki kule Ujerumani; tena alitohoa mitindo ya muziki ya Kiitalia na ya Kifaransa.
