The Johannes L is the wreck of a German coaster off the coast of the seaside town of Råå in Helsingborg, Sweden. The wreck lies parallel to the beach at a depth of 10 meters, with the highest point at about 1 meter below sea level. The ship was built in 1951 in Hamburg under the name Jacob Becker. After a sale in 1963, it was named Johannes L. The ship has a length of 48.5 meters and is 8 meters wide. It sank in November 1979 shortly after leaving Råå harbor.
