Johann Caspar Seyfert was a German composer, violinist and lute player.
He was a music director in Augsburg. In 1746 he added a fourth volume to the Augsburger Tafel-Confect, which Valentin Rathgeber had published in 1733, 1737 and 1739. The short title abbreviates Ohren-vergnügendes und Gemüth-ergötzendes Tafel-Confect, a collection of songs meant to be performed for dessert, whereas a Tafelmusik was performed during a main course.
His son, Johann Gottfried Seyfert also was a well-known composer of chamber music works, piano sonatas, oratorios, and 20 symphonies.
