Matthäus Seutter (1678-1757) was a prominent German cartographer of the mid-18th century. Initially apprenticed to a brewer, he trained as an engraver under Johann Baptist Homann in Nuremberg before opening a shop in his native Augsburg.
In 1727 he was awarded the title of Imperial Geographer. His most famous work is Atlas Novus Sive Tabulae Geographicae, published in two volumes ca. 1730, although most of his maps are based on earlier works by other cartographers such as Homann, Delisles, and de Fer.
