Johann Fugger the Elder or Hans Fugger (1 June 1583 - 28 April 1633, Telfs) was a German businessman, landowner and noble of the Fugger family.[1][2] He was Lord of Schloss Babenhausen and Boos.

He was one of the sons of Jakob III. Fugger and his wife Anna Ilsung.[3] After his father's death in 1598, he managed the lordships of Babenhausen and Boos among others. The Fugger lordships were divided up in 1620 and exchanged among the family shortly afterwards. Johann became lord of Boos whilst his brother Maximilian (1587–1629) became lord of Babenhausen, Johann Herr zu Boos.[4]
