Johann Georg Voigt, Jr. was a German organist. His father of the same name, Johann Georg Voigt, Sr. (c1689-1766) (C-4) worked as an oboist, first at the Weimar court and then, from 1729, at the court of Ansbach. The son around 1740 was chapel boy in the Hofkapelle Ansbach? (Ansbach court chapel). He studied privately with J.S. Bach in Leipzig in the late 1740's3 (or around 1740-17431). He was Chamber registrar in Ansbach; from 17513 or 17521 also organist at the Stiftskirche St. Gumbertus in Ansbach (until 1752 on behalf of the organist Georg Ludwig Diez).
Johann Georg Voigt, Jr. mentioned in his application for the Ansbach organist position in 1751 three-year lessons with J.S. Bach. Voigt also mentions Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach as a pupil of his father in a letter to Forkel in 1775. Sometimes he was mistaken for his father of the same name.
