John C. Koch (October 18, 1841–September 9, 1907) was a Republican politician who served two terms as mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Koch was born in 1841 near Hamburg, Germany. He moved with his family to Milwaukee in 1854. He became a tinner in his father's shop, eventually becoming an executive of the John Pritzlaff Hardware company. He married Pritzlaff's daughter, Elizabeth, in 1864.
Koch received his party's nomination for lieutenant-governor in 1892. He was instead elected mayor of Milwaukee in that year, and was reelected to a second two-year term in 1894. His first term saw the Panic of 1893.
