Johann Schweigger (1779–1857) was a German physicist and physician known primarily for his work in the fields of electromagnetism and chemistry. He is perhaps best recognized for his contributions to the development of early electromagnetic theory and his invention of the "Schweigger's galvanometer," an instrument used to detect and measure electric current. Schweigger's work laid important groundwork for future developments in electromagnetism and electrical engineering.
