Johannes Abromeit (17 February 1857 – 19 January 1946) was a German botanist and teacher.
He was born in the village of Paschleitschen (now Nemansky District) near Ragnit in the Province of Prussia, and he studied natural sciences, German literature, and philosophy at Albertus-Universität Königsberg between 1879 and 1884. During his life, Abromeit served as an assistant at the botanical institute in Königsberg, as a lecturer, and as an associate professor of botany at Albertus-Universität Königsberg. He was heavily involved in the Preussische Botanische Verein throughout his professional life. Carl Christian Mez named the genus Abromeitia from the family Myrsinaceae in his honor.
