    Jan Christiaan Sepp (Amsterdam, 8 november 1739 – aldaar, 29 november 1811) was een Nederlands tekenaar, graveur, natuurvorser en uitgever. Jan Christiaan Sepp was de oudste zoon van de graveur en tekenaar Christiaan Sepp (ca. 1710 – 2 augustus 1775). Hij was tweemaal gehuwd. Rond 1768 trouwde hij met Sara Focking, dochter van een Amsterdamse papierverkoper, met wie hij drie kinderen kreeg. Nadat zijn vrouw bij de geboorte van hun derde kind Christiaan overleed trouwde hij ca. 1775 met Wichertje Wichers Kruys (14 juli 1755 - 18 januari 1823) uit Giethoorn (Overijssel). Met haar kreeg hij elf kinderen.

    Jan Christiaan Sepp, wiens doopnaam Johan Christiaan Sepp was, werd in de Lutherse Kerk te Amsterdam gedoopt. Hij ging later over naar de doopsgezinde kerk en werd lidmaat van de Kerk "De Kruikjes". Hij was kunstenaar en boekverkoper. Hij wasmede-oprichter van de kunstenaarssociëteit "Felix Meritis" in 1777. Vanaf 1781 was hij predikant bij de mennistenparochie "De Oude Vlamingen".

    "Jan Christiaan Sepp (11 November 1739 - 29 November 1811), joined his father's business. He married in 1768 the 14-year older S. Focking, the daughter of a Dantzig paperseller. After she died in 1773 he remarried. He moved to a house at Haarlemmerstraat, which probably also served as a bookshop. All his children (11) were baptized in the Mennonite church. In 1777 he was one of the founders of Felix Meritis, a "club" where artists and scientist gathered or discussed, with an eminent building on Keizersgracht. Five years later he was a mennonite teacher on Singel.

    Jan Christiaan was an engraver, etcher, bookseller, author as well as illustrator for "Nederlandsche vogelen" (in English: "Dutch Birds"). The price for the complete set of books was 525 Dutch guilders. It must have held the record for being the most expensive book published in the Netherlands for a very long time.

    Sepp brought his son Jan (18 September 1778 - 19 December 1853) into the business, which then traded as J.C. Sepp en Zoon. After the death of Jan, the work continued to be published by Cornelis Sepp until 1868."
  • He died on November 29, 1811 in Amsterdam, he was 72 years old.Source 3
  • A child of Christiaan Andreas Sepp (Schmidt) and Maria Elisabeth Deman
