Johann Gottfried Siegmund (born May 30, 1792 ; † June 24, 1865 ) was a Berlin entrepreneur.

The banker acquired his wealth as a silk merchant and carried the title of " purveyor to the court ". Around the beginning of the 1830s he bought a piece of land between the Tiergarten and the Spree, on which he had the private road Siegmunds Hof laid out in 1862 ; it was taken over as a public street in Berlin in 1888 and belonged to the old Hansaviertel . Until 1852 he was the owner of the garden establishment "Teichmanns Blumengarten" at Tiergartenstrasse 21, which he sold to the factory owner Theodor Hildebrand.

Siegmund's daughter Emma married the poet and political writer Georg Herwegh in Switzerland in 1843 .
