Martin Friedrich [Matthias Franciscus] Cannabich (1690 - 1773) was a German composer, oboist and flutist. He was court musician in the chapel of Elector Johann Wilhelm. After the elector's death, Cannabich worked for his successor Karl Philipp in Heidelberg from 1718 to 1720. After the electoral court moved from Heidelberg to Mannheim, he can be verified as a member of the court orchestra in Mannheim in 1723. There he was also the flute teacher of Prince Elector Karl Theodor. He retired in 1756.

Martin Friedrich Cannabich was married twice: in 1715 he married Anna Maria Essers, in 1727 his second wife Rosina Arnold. He was the father of Christian Cannabich and the grandfather of Carl Cannabich, also composers and musicians.
