Volker Weidler was a professional racing driver from Germany best known for winning the historic 24 hours of Le Mans.

In the 1989 Formula One season, Weidler tried but failed to qualify for ten Formula One grands prix while racing for the Rial team:

In 1991, Weidler teamed with Johnny Herbert and Bertrand Gachot to win Le Mans behind the wheel of the Mazda 787, marking the first win of the legendary French race by both a Japanese manufacturer and engine supplier. From 1992, however, rotary engines were banned by the FISA, rendering the 787 ineligible after its maiden win.
