Johann Gottfried Hildebrandt (1724 or 1725, in Störmthal – 7 November 1775, in Dresden) was a German organ builder.

Like his father, the important organ builder Zacharias Hildebrandt, Johann Gottfried was a Saxon organ builder in the second half of the eighteenth century. From 26 November 1771, he was the official organ builder to the Elector of Saxony.

He married Johanna Regina Hartmann in Leipzig on 26 February 1754.
