Wolfgang Seidel (4 July 1926 – 1 March 1987) was a racing driver from Germany.

He participated in 12 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on 2 August 1953.

Seidel often entered cars under his own name, or under the Scuderia Colonia banner.

After having been refused a start at the 1962 German Grand Prix due to slowness, Seidel got in an argument with officials from the Automobilclub von Deutschland.
