John Baptist Malchair (1730–1812) was a German-born artist and musician who made significant contributions to the cultural landscape of 18th-century England. Born in Cologne, Malchair moved to England in the mid-18th century, where he became a prominent figure in the artistic and musical communities of Oxford. He is best known for his work as a violinist, composer, and collector of traditional English folk music, as well as for his detailed and evocative landscape drawings.

Malchair's musical career was marked by his appointment as the leader of the Oxford Music Room orchestra in 1760, a position he held for over three decades. His tenure at the Music Room was notable for his efforts to expand the repertoire and improve the quality of performances. Malchair's interest in folk music led him to collect and transcribe numerous traditional tunes, many of which might have otherwise been lost to history. His collection, which includes over 200 pieces, is considered an invaluable resource for the study of English folk music.

In addition to his musical pursuits, Malchair was an accomplished artist. His landscape drawings, often depicting scenes from the Oxfordshire countryside, are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to capture the essence of the natural world. Malchair's artistic style was influenced by the topographical tradition, and his works are appreciated for their historical and aesthetic value.

Malchair's dual legacy as both a musician and an artist reflects his deep engagement with the cultural life of his adopted country. His contributions to the preservation of English folk music and his artistic depictions of the English landscape have left a lasting impact, making him a significant figure in the history of 18th-century English art and music.
