Johannes Julius Schubring (28 March 1839, Dessau – 5 June 1914) was a German classical scholar, known for his studies on the archaeological topography of Sicily. He was the son of the clergyman Julius Schubring (1806–1889), friend of Felix Mendelssohn, for whom he wrote the librettos of the oratorios St. Paul and Elijah. Thomas Mann portrayed Julius Schubring in his first novel, Buddenbrooks as the head teacher, Prof. Wulicke.
