Franz Stauder (born 28 May 1977) is a former professional tennis player from Germany and current head coach at TC Rot-Weiß Worms.

[1] His first appearance in the main draw of an ATP Tour level tournament came at the 1996 Gerry Weber Open in Halle where he partnered Pat Cash in the doubles.

[4] Stauder, who won six Challenger titles, narrowly missed out on qualifying for the singles draw at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships.

The International Tennis Federation ruled that Stauder had "no intent" to "enhance his sporting performance" through taking the drug.

As a result, discretion was exercised and he received only a two-month suspension, as well as forfeiting relevant ranking points and prize money.
