Fred John Weibell (October 18, 1927 – 2015) was an American biomedical engineer. He served for many years as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES).[1] In 1992, he was the first recipient of the BMES Distinguished Service Award in recognition of his "extraordinary contributions to the Society."[2]

Together with Leslie Cromwell and Erich A. Pfieffer, he was a coauthor of Biomedical Instrumentation and Measurements (Prentice Hall ISBN 0-13-076448-5). For several decades, this text has been "considered by many to be the 'Bible' for biomedical technicians,"[3] and is still used in the curriculum of colleges and universities worldwide.[4][5][6][7]

He died August 6, 2015, from causes incident to age and Parkinson's disease.
