Weigand of Redwitz (1476 in Tüschnitz, now part of Küps – 20 May 1556 in Kronach) was Prince-Bishop of Bamberg from 1522 until his death.

Weigand was a son of Henry of Redwitz at Theisenort and Tüschnitz and his wife, Agatha of Bibra.

Among his congregation was the reformer Johannes Grau, who had to flee to Wittenberg after he married the daughter of a citizen of Kronach.

During his time as bishop, Weigand acted against Luther's followers and removed Lutheran clergy from office.

At the time Weigand was appointed bishop, Adrian VI was Pope and Charles V was Emperor.

The commander of the League's forces, Georg, Truchsess von Waldburg, was a loyal, but also ruthless military leader.

After the revolt was suppressed, Weigand, unlike some other feudal rulers, did not impose draconian punishments on the rebels.
