Jordan & Timaeus was a Saxon chocolate company established in 1823 by Gottfried Jordan and August Friedrich Timaeus, based in Dresden, Germany.

Gottfried Heinrich Christoph Jordan (May 9, 1791, in Hasserode – October 2, 1860, in Dresden) was a Saxon businessman.

Jordan initially worked together with August Friedrich Timaeus as a traveling salesman for companies in Braunschweig. In 1823, Jordan and Timaeus founded the chocolate and cichorium factory Jordan & Timaeus between today's Timaeus and Jordan streets east of Königsbrücker Straße in Dresden- Antonstadt . They produced chicory coffee, pasta and chocolate. The company quickly became one of the largest in Dresden.

In 1836, Jordan participated in the founding of the Waldschlösschen Brewery, one of the first joint stock companies in Germany. From 1842 to 1848 he was Deputy Member of the Saxon Landtag.

Jordan was buried in the Inner Neustädter cemetery. In Dresden, the Jordan Road is named after him.

His son Ernst Albert Jordan later took over the company. He was also a member of the Saxon Landtag and became an honorary citizen of the city of Dresden.

August Friedrich Christian Timaeus (also: Friedrich August Timaeus ) (January 23, 1794, in Celle – April 1, 1875, in Dresden) was a German businessman.
