Johann Philipp Franz von Schonborn (1673–1724) was the Prince-Bishop of Wurzburg from 1719 to 1724.
Johann Philipp Franz von Schonborn was born in Wurzburg on February 15, 1673, the son of Melchior Friedrich Graf von Schonborn-Buchheim (1644-1717) and his wife Maria Anna Sophia von Boineburg (1652–1726). His father was the brother of Lothar Franz von Schonborn, who was Archbishop-Elector of Mainz from 1694 to 1729. He was educated at the Jesuit school at Aschaffenburg, starting in 1681. He became a canon of Wurzburg Cathedral in 1685. He then studied at the University of Wurzburg, the University of Mainz, and in Rome, completing his studies in 1693. He was admitted to the cathedral chapter of Wurzburg Cathedral in 1699.
The cathedral chapter of Wurzburg Cathedral elected him as the new Prince-Bishop of Wurzburg on September 18, 1719. He was ordained as a priest on July 25, 1720. On November 10, 1720, his uncle, Lothar Franz von Schonborn, consecrated him as a bishop.
He had a heart attack in 1724, dying in Bad Mergentheim on August 18, 1724. His principal claim to fame is his commissioning of the Wurzburg Residence.
