| Johann Heinrich Hottinger den äldre, född den 10 mars 1620 i Zürich, död den 5 juni 1667 nära Zürich, var en schweizisk orientalist, far till teologen Johann Jakob Hottinger, förfader till historikern Johann Jakob Hottinger. Hottinger var professor vid Zürichs universitet, där han lärde ut hebreiska, logik och retorik, kyrkohistoria med flera ämnen. Han var en av grundläggarna av den orientaliska språkvetenskapen. Bland hans många arbeten märks Thesaurus philologicus (1649; 3:e upplagan 1669) och Etymologicon orientale (1661). Hottinger studied at Geneva, Groningen and Leiden. After visiting France and England he was appointed professor of church history in his native town of Zürich in 1642. The chair of Hebrew at the Carolinum in Zürich was added in 1643, and in 1653 he was appointed professor ordinarius of logic, rhetoric and theology. He gained such a reputation as an Oriental scholar that the Elector of the Palatinate in 1655 appointed him professor of Oriental languages and biblical criticism at the University of Heidelberg. While in Heidelberg he also worked to reestablish the Collegium Sapientiae, a Reformed theological seminary. In 1661 he returned to Zürich, where in 1662 he was appointed principal of the University of Zürich. In 1667 he accepted an invitation to succeed Johann Hoornbeck (1617–1666) as professor in the University of Leiden. Before he could take up this position he drowned with three of his children after the upsetting of a boat while crossing the river Limmat. He was succeeded upon his death at the chair of theology in Zurich by his fellow Zurich-native younger namesake and former student at Heidelberg, Johann Heinrich Heidegger. His chief works are Historia ecclesiastica Nov. Test. (1651–1667); Thesaurus philologicus seu clavis scripturae (1649; 3rd ed. 1698); Etymologicon orientale, sive lexicon harmonicum heptaglotton (1661). He also wrote a Hebrew and an Aramaic grammar.
