▲}}'''Johann Anton Güldenstädt''' (26 April 1745 in [[Riga]], [[Latvia]] – 23 March 1781 in [[St. Petersburg]], [[Russia]]) was a [[Baltic German]] [[natural history|naturalist]] and [[explorer]] in Russian service.
Güldenstädt lost both his parents early, and from 1763 onwards studied [[pharmacy]], [[botany]] and [[natural history]] in [[Berlin]]. At the age of 22, he obtained his doctorate in [[medicine]] at the [[Viadrina European University|University of Frankfurt]] in 1767. In the following year, he joined the [[Russian Academy of Sciences|Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences']] expedition sent by [[Catherine II of Russia]] to explore the Russian empire's southern frontier. Güldenstädt travelled through [[Ukraine]] and the [[Astrakhan Oblast|Astrakhan]] region, as well as the northern [[Caucasus]] and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], both of which were almost entirely beyond the borders of the Russian empire. In March 1775 he returned to [[St Petersburg]]. The results of the expedition and Güldenstädt's edited expedition journal were published after his death by [[Peter Simon Pallas]] in ''Reisen durch Russland und im Caucasischen Gebürge'' (Travels in Russia and the Mountains of the Caucasus) (1787–1791).
