Johann Christian Dauphin (22 February 1682 -14 May 1730) was a German organ builder.

Johann Christian Dauphin was a student of Johann Friedrich Wender in Mühlhausen, Thüringen and was recommended for maintenance on his organ in Seligenstadt.

From about 1707 he settled in Kleinheubach, where he married in 1707.  In 1714 he was put in charge of the organs in the County of Erbach.

His greatest work was the three-manual organ for the Walldürn Basilica which is probably the only largely preserved organ is in the old Catholic parish church of St. Anna in Sulzbach am Main.  In addition, some prospectuses have been preserved.

His brother Johann Eberhard Dauphin was also an organ builder. His son Johann Christian II (June 12, 1713 in Kleinheubach; died May 8, 1772, in Kleinheubach) and his grandson Johann Christian III.  (January 16, 1752 in Kleinheubach; died May 2, 1792, in Kleinheubach) were also organ builders and continued to run the workshop.  It went out around 1800.
