John J. Kimmel (13 December 1866 – 18 September 1942^[1]^[2]) was a German-American musician known for playing Irish, Scottish, and American music on the 1-row diatonic accordion (or melodeon).^[3]^[4] Though not Irish-American, but rather German-American (born in Brooklyn to German immigrants Margaretha Schmidt and John Kimmel), Kimmel's playing had an enduring effect on the playing of the Irish accordion.^[5]

Kimmel's career stretched roughly from 1904 to 1920,^[6] largely in New York City.^{[citation needed]} His earliest recordings, done on Edison Wax Cylinder, were around 1906.^[7] Kimmel's works often appeared under the name Kimmble,^[1] and he was known to bill himself as the Irish Dutchman (cf. Deutsch).^[8] He made electrical recordings in 1928 and early 1929 for Victor and on Edison Diamond Discs.
