Johannes Baur (13 December 1795 – 24 November 1865) was an Austrian-born Swiss businessman, hotelier and tourism pioneer primarily active in Zürich, Switzerland. In 1838, he opened the first hotel in the city, Baur en Ville, which still operates at Paradeplatz. He is also namesake of Baur au Lac, which he founded shortly after in 1844.
