Friedrich Wohnsiedler (23 November 1879 – 10 February 1958) was a notable New Zealand butcher, orchardist, viticulturist and wine-maker.
He was born in Eberbach-am-Jagst, Germany in 1879.
He arrived in New Zealand around 1900 and worked as a butcher, first in Lower Hutt, then Woodville, eventually settling in Gisborne.
He fled from Gisborne in 1914 due to anti-German feelings, and later settled in Waihirere in the Hawke's Bay Region, where he started with viticulture.
