Johann Christian Klengel (April 5, 1751 in Kesselsdorf; † December 19, 1824 in Dresden) was a German engraver and painter. Klengel attended the drawing school in Dresden. His teacher was Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich. In 1790 he went to Italy and in 1802 became a professor at the Dresden Academy of Arts. One of his students was Karl Gottfried Traugott Faber. He painted ideal landscapes and idyllic compositions, mostly with morning or evening light. In 1812 he published a collection of twelve folio sheets for landscape draftsmen under the title "Principes de dessins pour les paysages" and in 1824 a similar number of preparatory sheets, known today under the title "Études de paysages".
