Johannes Ilberg (10 July 1860, Magdeburg – 20 August 1930, Leipzig) was a German educator and classical philologist who was the author of numerous works on ancient Greek medicine. His father, Hugo Ilberg (1828-1883), was a gymnasium director, and his uncle, Friedrich von Ilberg (1858-1916), was a personal physician to Kaiser Wilhelm II.
He studied philology, archaeology, history and philosophy in Leipzig, Bonn and Berlin. At the University of Bonn, he was greatly influenced by philologist Hermann Usener; at the University of Leipzig, he received his doctorate under the sponsorship of Otto Ribbeck. Later on, he served as a gymnasium rector in Wurzen (from 1910), Chemnitz (from 1914) and at the Queen Carola gymnasium in Leipzig (1916-24). He was co-editor (since 1897) and editor (1914–1929) of the educational series "Neuen Jahrbücher für das klassische Altertum, Geschichte und deutsche Literatur", a publication that was also referred to as Ilbergs Jahrbücher ("Ilberg's Yearbook"). In 1925 it was renamed "Neuen Jahrbücher für Wissenschaft und Jugendbildung".
