Ignatius Frederick Horstmann (December 16, 1840 – May 13, 1908) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Cleveland from 1892 until his death in 1908.
Ignatius Horstmann was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Frederick and Catherine (née Weber) Horstmann. After graduating from Central High School, he attended St. Joseph's College and St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. In 1860 he was sent to further his studies in Rome at the Pontifical North American College, where he was one of the first students. While in Rome, Horstmann was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Costantino Patrizi Naro on June 10, 1865. He earned his Doctor of Divinity degree the following year.
Upon his return to Philadelphia, he became professor of philosophy, German, and Hebrew at St. Charles Seminary.
