Joachim Trognaesius was a printer and bookseller in late 16th century and early 17th century Antwerp. He was in business by the 1580s and has produced works in Dutch, French, Italian, English and Latin, including history books, devotional works, classical texts and almanacs. Trognaesius had business dealings with some of the most prominent publishers of his era such as Christophe Plantin and Abraham Ortelius. He is also found in the accounts of the Violieren, one of three drama guilds in the city.

After his death on 23 June 1624, his business, on the churchyard of Antwerp Cathedral, was continued by his son Caesar Joachim Trognaesius.
