Klotz is a family of violin makers. Members of the Klotz (or Kloz) family have made violins in Mittenwald, Germany from the mid-17th century to the present. The Klotz family taught other families of the village the violin trade, and Mittenwald prospered and became well known for its violins. In ''A Dictionary of Music and Musicians'' 1900, the contributor Edward John Payne writes: "Nine-tenths of the violins which pass in the world as 'Stainers' were made by the Klotz family and their followers." 〔Payne, Edward John.

A label of the family () in Mittenwalt Anno 1725. Instruments by Sebastian I (1696–1768) are probably the most admired among the many existing examples by this family. Some instruments which have been identified as Sebastian's work bear his father's label.

Kloz in Mittenwald, 1732 Joseph (1743–1819), son of Sebastian, worked in a manner similar to that of his father.
