John Eppinger (born Johannes Eppinger;[1] May 1730 – 1776) was a German master builder who was prominent in the 18th century. After arriving in Savannah, Province of Georgia, he became an American Revolutionary War patriot and served in the conflict.[2] Patriotic meetings were held in his home, then known as the Eppinger Tavern. The building is still standing, believed to be the oldest intact brick structure in Georgia.
