Johann Baptist Strauss II (Neubau , 25 de octubre de 1825-Viena, 3 de junio de 1899) fue un compositor austriaco conocido especialmente por sus valses, como El Danubio azul. Hijo del compositor Johann Strauss y hermano de los compositores Josef Strauss y Eduard Strauss, Johann es el más famoso de la familia Strauss. Fue conocido en su vida como «el rey del vals» y a él se debe en gran medida la popularidad del vals en la Viena del siglo XIX. Lo revolucionó, elevándolo de una danza campesina a una de entretenimiento apta para la Corte Imperial de los Habsburgo. Sus obras gozan de mayor popularidad que las de sus predecesores, como su padre y Josef Lanner. Algunas de sus polcas y marchas son también muy conocidas, así como su opereta Die Fledermaus (El Murciélago).
