Johann Lantz, also Lanz, born in Tettnang on Lake Constance in 1564 and dead on 20 September 1638, was a German mathematician and Jesuit. He was admitted as a novice at Landsberg in 1589 and became a professor of Hebrew at the University of Ingolstadt, leaving his place after 1609 or 1610 to his pupil Christoph Scheiner and moving to Munich, where he died. He wrote several works on mathematics, analysing the four genres of numbers and then the astronomical fractions, among them the Institutionum arithmeticarum libri quatuor printed at Munich by Nikolaus Heinrich in 1619, and Mario Bettini remembers him in his Aerarium philosophiae mathematicae of 1648.
