Benedictus Gotthelf Teubner (born 16 June 1784 in Grosskrausnik in Luckau in Lower Lusatia; died 21 January 1856 in Leipzig) was a German bookseller and the founder of a publishing company.
Teubner was a printer. In 1811 he brought the German: Weinedelsche printing press to Leipzig, which he would bring to importance within Germany. He founded another press in Dresden towards the end of the 18th century. The addition of a publishing business to the printing house followed in 1824, which published in the areas of philology and higher education in Germany. The well-known series of classical publications known as the Bibliotheca scriptorum graecorum et romanorum Teubneriana emerged from this. In Leipzig Teubner was a member of the Masonic lodge.
Teubner died on 21 January 1856 in Leipzig and left the business to his sons-in-law Christian Adolf Roßbach (1822-1898) and .
For the 1840 book History of the Art of Printing ("German: Geschichte der Buchdruckerkunst"), Friedrich Wilhelm IV awarded Teubner a golden tribute medal in recognition of "the typographical value of the work", and the English royal couple, to whom a copy had been presented, awarded him a golden coronation medal. King Frederick Augustus of Saxony received the dedication.
A street in Leipzig is named after Teubner.
