Jean Antoine Zinnen (25 April 1827 – 16 May 1898) was a Luxembourgian composer, best known as the composer of the Luxembourgian national anthem, Ons Hémécht.

Zinnen was born in Neuerburg, in the Prussian Rhineland, close to the border with Luxembourg. When he was six, his family moved to Luxembourg. After serving as a musician in the army, he naturalised as a Luxembourgian citizen in 1849. In 1852, Zinnen was appointed Luxembourg City's director of music, and, soon after, director of the city conservatoire.

He died in Neuilly-sur-Marne, France, at the age of 61, and was buried in Limpertsberg, Luxembourg City.
