Günter Weigand (24 November 1924 – 2003) was a German self-proclaimed "social lawyer" (Sozialanwalt), economist and amateur prosecutor who became victim of a judicial and psychiatric scandal.

Heinrich Böll[1] and the German expert in criminal law Karl Peters (among others) made it possible, that the Weigand case is known as a miscarriage of justice.

Weigand was born on 24 November 1924 in Allenstein. He died in 2003, likely in Troisdorf.[2]
