Johannes Hadlaub (fl. 1300, d. before 1340) was one of the Minnesingers whose works are recorded in Codex Manesse. He was a citizen of Zürich, and is on record as buying a house there in 1302.

Portrait of Johannes Hadlaub as a pilgrim, fol .371r

There are 51 songs by Hadlaub in the Codex Manesse, and it is commonly assumed that Hadlaub was actively involved in its compilation. This assumption was fictionalised in a poetic novella, "Hadlaub" (in the Züricher Novellen, 1878), by Gottfried Keller.
