Friedrich Albrecht Weber (German pronunciation: [ˈalbʁɛçt ˈveːbɐ];[1][2] 17 February 1825 – 30 November 1901) was a Prussian-German Indologist and historian who studied the history of Jainism in India.

At Stenzler's suggestion, he studied the Yajurveda, examining the ninth chapter of the Vâjasaneyi-Samhitâ from a copy in London.

He also spent some time in 1845 in Berlin studying under Franz Bopp, H. J. Petermann, Wilhelm Schott, M. G. Schwanze, August Boeckh, Theodor Aufrecht, Adalbert Kuhn, Rudolf Roth and Karl Lachmann.

On his return to Germany, he went to the University of Berlin, where he became privatdocent in 1848, and in 1856 became an adjunct professor of the language and literature of ancient India.

[6] He also contributed much lexicographical material, especially from Vedic literature, to the Sanskrit-Wörterbuch of Otto von Böhtlingk and Rudolf Roth.
