Johann Christian Gottlieb Scheidler (born November 26, 1747 in Aken (Elbe) , † August 15, 1829 in Mainz ) was a German musician and composer.

Little is known about his résumé. He worked as a cellist and bassoonist at various royal courts, but he was best known for his playing of the lute and guitar. He is regarded as one of the last virtuosos on the lute on the one hand and as a representative of guitar playing on the other.

He was highly valued by contemporaries as an improviser on these instruments. In Ernst Ludwig Gerber's historical-biographical lexicon of the Tonkünstler (1792) it is mentioned (incorrectly in the form of the name "Schindler") that he was known as a cellist, lutenist and composer since 1768. From 1778 to 1812 he was employed as court lutenist and cellist of the Electoral Court and Chamber Music at the court of the Elector of Mainz, but fled to Frankfurt am Main at the beginning of 1794 during the siege of Mainz by French troops, where he worked as a private music teacher (including for Maria Belli -Gontard and Marianne von Willemer) worked. From 1808 to 1814 he was employed by the Frankfurt theater band, after which he returned to Mainz, where he died in 1829.

He was not related to the Gotha family of musicians around Johann David Scheidler. It is not known whether he is the author of the Nouvelle Methode guitar school , which appeared under the otherwise unfamiliar name JF Scheidler around 1803 by Nikolaus Simrock .
