Johan Reinhard (Joliet, 13 dicembre 1943) è un esploratore e antropologo statunitense presso la National Geographic Society.

È anche ricercatore senior al The Mountain Institute, West Virginia, visiting professor all'Universidad Católica de Salta, Argentina, e professore onorario dell'Università Cattolica, Arequipa, in Perù.

Reinhard è famoso per le sue scoperte sulle mummie Inca, tra cui la mummia Juanita e i congelati sacrifici sulle vette delle Ande in Perù e in Argentina. Esplorò le sacre valli dell'Himalaya ed studiò l'archeologia subacquea in alcuni dei laghi più alti del mondo. Ha spiegato il mistero delle Linee di Nazca, i giganteschi disegni del deserto, i siti cerimoniali preispanici costruiti sulle cime delle Ande e gli antichi centri cerimoniali di Machu Picchu, Chavin e Tiahuanaco.
