Johann Gottfried Hoche (25 September 1762 in Gratzungen – 2 May 1836 in Gröningen) was a German Protestant theologian and historian. He was the father of writer Louise Aston (1814–1871).
He studied history and theology at the University of Halle, where his instructors included Johann Salomo Semler and Johann August Nösselt. In 1800 he was named second clergyman in the town of Gröningen, near Halberstadt. In 1805 he attained the positions of senior minister and superintendent, and soon afterwards, was appointed to the consistory in Halberstadt. Following the dissolution of Halberstadt consistory in 1816, he was offered a position in Magdeburg, but chose to remain in Gröningen, where he died in 1836.
