Gerd Weisgerber (January 24, 1938 in Saarwellingen – June 22, 2010 in Recklinghausen) was an eminent German professor of mining archaeology.
As a scientist from the German Mining Museum, he focused his research mainly on Western Asia, especially on Oman, Jordan, Palestine, and Iran.
Later on, he found a passion on archaeology and finished his doctorate in 1970 at Saarland University over "Römische Quellheiligtum von Hochscheid im Hunsrück".
He started his archaeological career as professor Rolf Hachmann's assistant at the same university.
