Johann Friedrich Endersch (Template:Lang-pl; 25 October 1705 – March 28 1769) was a German cartographer and mathematician. Endersch also held the title of Royal Mathematician from King Augustus III of Poland.
Endersch was born in Dörnfeld an der Heide, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, and lived most of his life in Elbląg (Elbing) in the Polish province of Royal Prussia. In 1755 he completed for Prince-Bishop Adam Stanisław Grabowsk, a map of Warmia titled "Tabula Geographica Episcopatum Warmiensem In Prussia Exhibens". The map, which detailed the towns of Warmia, was commissioned for the court of the Holy Roman Emperor, Francis I.
Endersch made a copper etching depicting a galley or sailing ship, which had been built in Elbing in 1738 and was named Die Stadt Elbing (German for "The City of Elbląg").
