Christian Friedrich Penzel (25 November 1737 – 14 March 1801) was a German musician. Although he was a composer in his own right, he is remembered more for his association with Johann Sebastian Bach. He was one of Bach's last pupils and is known for his copies of Bach's works. Penzel started at the Thomasschule, Leipzig in 1749 while Bach held the position of Thomaskantor. Bach died the following year. After Bach's death, Penzel became a prefect at the school under Bach's successor Johann Gottlob Harrer.
