Wolfgang Hesl (born 13 January 1986) is a German former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

[1] Hesl joined Hamburger SV in 2004 and was part of the club's first team since the beginning of the 2005–06 season.

After making over 70 appearances for the club's reserve team in the Regionalliga, he made his Bundesliga debut for Hamburg on 17 May 2008 in their final league game of the 2007–08 season, a 7–0 win at home to Karlsruhe, coming on as a substitute for Frank Rost in the 74th minute.

When Jaroslav Drobný joined Hamburg in the summer of 2010, Hesl would have been only third choice and was therefore loaned out to Austrian side SV Ried for one season.
