Johann Wilhelm Ritter (December 16, 1776 – January 23, 1810) was a German chemist and physicist. He was born in Samitz bei Haynau, Silesia (now Chojnów, Poland).
Ritter made very important discoveries regarding electrochemistry and ultraviolet light. He is credited with discovering the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum and the dry pile electric battery.
He died young in Munich, possibly due to using his own body in electrical experiments.
