Johann Gottfried von Guttenberg (6 November 1645 – 14 December 1698) was a German clergyman who served as Prince and Bishop of Würzburg from 1684, until his death in 1698.

The House of Guttenberg was a prominent Franconian noble family, named after Guttenberg Castle. Johann Gottfried was born at Marloffstein Castle.

In the Nine Years' War, the Prince-Bishop allied with the Emperor (Leopold I) and provided him with troops. He died in Würzburg, aged 53.
