Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber (Weißensee, Thuringia, 1739 — Erlangen, 1810) was a German naturalist.

In 1774 Schreber began writing a multi-volume set of books entitled Die Säugethiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen, which focused on the mammals of the world. Many of the animals included were given a scientific name for the first time, following the binomial system of Carolus Linnaeus. From 1791 until his death in 1810, he was the President of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.

He also wrote on entomology notably Schreberi Novae Species Insectorvm. Schreber is often prefixed I.C.D.
