Johann Michael Zeyher (26 November 1770, in Obernzenn – 23 April 1843, in Schwetzingen) was a German gardener and horticulturist.
He studied at the Karlsschule in Stuttgart, and later worked as a volunteer under Hofgärtner (court gardener) Friedrich Schweickart in Karlsruhe. In 1792 he moved to Basel, where he subsequently became a court gardener. He later worked at the Grand Ducal gardens in Schwetzingen, where from 1806 to 1843 he held the position of director.[1][2]
