Johann Hommel (1518 – 1562) was a German astronomer and mathematician. In 1552 or 1553, Richard Cantzlar introduced transversal dot lines in graduations. It was a variant of the zigzag line system introduced by Hommel. Tycho Brahe obtained the zigzag line system from Hommel. The crater Hommel on the Moon is named after him.
