Johannes Hinderbach (15 August 1418 – 21 September 1486) was Prince-Bishop of Trent from 12 May 1466 until his death.
He was notable for his involvement in the case of Simon of Trent, a young boy who was found murdered in 1475; Hinderbach blamed the local Jews for his death (see blood libel), executed several of them, and promoted Simon's canonisation as a saint.
