Johan Eberhard Geijer (Swedish: [ˈjɛ̌jɛr]; 19 October 1733 – 21 December 1796) was a Swedish ironmaster.

Born in Uddeholm in Värmland, Sweden on October 19, 1733, to Bengt Gustaf Geijer and Lovisa Sophia Tranæa, Geijer married Anna Fredrika Löfman and had children.[1] He served as "huvudmasmästare" in Värmland from 1760 to 1763 and owned the Bofors Works from 1762 to 1770[2] when his brother, Emanuel af Geijerstam, acquired it.[3] Geijer later acquired the Lindfors Works.
