Johann(es) Petreius a.k.a. Hans Peterlein (c. 1497 near Bad Kissingen - March 18 1550, Nuremberg) was a German printer in Nuremberg.
His most famous work is the original edition of Nicolaus Copernicus's De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium in 1543, after an initiative of Georg Joachim Rheticus and Tiedemann Giese. The inclusion of a foreword anonymously written by the Lutheran philosopher Andreas Osiander, stating that the whole work is only a simple hypothesis, which contradicts the content of Copernicus' work, is a rather controversial feature of the edition by Petreius.
