Johann Heinrich von Dannecker (born October 15, 1758 in Waldenbuch near Stuttgart; died December 8, 1841 in Stuttgart) was a German sculptor.

Ariadne on the Panther

He was the third of five children of Georg Dannecker (1718-1786), a coachman of Karl Eugen. In 1764, the family moved to Ludwigsburg. From 1772 to 1780, he was educated as a sculptor, together with Philipp Jacob Scheffauer (1756-1808). Initially, he studied under Adam Bauer, and, starting in 1775, at the military academy at Stuttgart. After finishing the academy in 1780, he traveled to Paris, Rome, Bologna and Mantua, and returned to Stuttgart in 1790, where he worked as a professor at the Hohe Karlsschule until 1794. In 1804, he did the initial draft of "Ariadne on the Panther", which he finished from 1810 to 1824, generally regarded as his masterpiece and one of the most important sculptures of the 19th century.

After the death of his schooltime friend Friedrich Schiller, Dannecker created a bust of him. In 1823 and 1824, he created a bust of John the Baptist.
