Johann Albrecht Kress (German: Johann Albrecht Kreß) (1644 (near Nuremberg) – 23 July 1684, Stuttgart) was a German Baroque composer and vice-Kapellmeister at the Württemberg court in Stuttgart. He entered the Stuttgart Hofkapelle in 1660 as a Musicant und Discantist (treble singer). By 1669 he is listed as an instrumentalist, and by 1676 he appears as Vize-Kapellmeister under Johann Friedrich Magg. Later sources describe him as effectively a director of the Hofkapelle and highly regarded as a composer.
