Roman Weidenfeller (born 6 August 1980) is a German former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Bundesliga clubs 1.

[6] Early in the 2007–08 season, Weidenfeller was given a three-match ban and fined €10,000 for racist insults leveled against Schalke 04 striker Gerald Asamoah.

[7] Due to a partial tear of the medial ligament in the right knee, he missed the DFB-Pokal final towards the end of the season, which was lost with 2–1 against Bayern Munich.

[15] At the end of the 2017–18 season, he retired after making his final appearance as a substitute for Bürki, but announced that he would continue to work for Dortmund in another capacity.

[16] His farewell match took place on 7 September 2018 in the Signal Iduna Park where Roman & Friends won against the BVB All Stars and Weidenfeller scored two goals.

He received his first cap when he started against England at the Wembley Stadium on 19 November 2013, making him the oldest ever German goalkeeper débutant.

He was nominated as a reserve keeper behind Manuel Neuer for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, where the German team won the title a fourth time, but Weidenfeller wasn't used in any match.

Weidenfeller made his first appearance in the Germany national team in a competitive match against Gibraltar during the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying in June 2015.
