Johann Jakob Schnell (1687 – 21 February 1754) was a German composer, court music director and music publisher.
Schnell belonged to a widely ramified family of musicians that originally came from the Allgäu. His father Bernhard Schnell was footman in the service of the music-loving count Rudolf Franz Erwein von Schönborn [de] in Wiesentheid. In 1714 Schnell became oboist and violinist at the court of Bamberg. In July 1727 he was appointed court and chamber music director by the Bamberg prince-bishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn. Between 1734 and 1753 Schnell also appeared as a publisher of sacred music by other composers.
He died in Bamberg at about the age of 67.
