Godefroy Engelmann (August 17, 1788 – April 25, 1839) was a 19th-century Franco-German lithographer and chromolithographer.
Engelmann is largely credited with bringing lithography to France, and later, commercializing chromolithography. In 1837 he was granted an English patent for a process of chromolithography that provided consistently high-quality results.
Throughout his life, he produced large numbers of prints, including numerous plates for Baron Isidore Justin Séverin Taylor's famoue collection of lithographs, "Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l’ancienne France".
