Johann Philipp Fabricius (22 January 1711 – 23 January 1791) was a German Christian missionary and a Tamil scholar in the later part of his life. He arrived in South India in 1740 to take charge of a small Tamil Lutheran congregation in Madras and expanded it during his stay. During his time in Madras he wrote several Christian hymns in Tamil and published the first Tamil to English Dictionary. Of his works his translation of the Bible to Tamil is considered to be most noteworthy.

  • Johann Philipp Fabricius, född 22 januari 1711, död 23 januari 1791, var en tysk missionär. Fabricius var från 1739 i dansk-halleska missionens tjänst i Sydindien. Med sitt stilla inåtvända sinneslag, han kallades munkprästen, var Fabricius knappast lämpade att under de oroliga tiderna på 1700-talet leda församlingsarbetet. Hans huvuduppgift kom i stället att bli litterärt arbete; hans översättning av Bibeln till tamil har ansetts som ett mästerverk, och var ännu i bruk på 1900-talet. (sv)
