Jörg Wilhalm was an early 16th-century German fencing master, hatmaker, and citizen of Augsburg.
There are six fechtbuchs attributed to Wilhalm:
- 1522 Cod.I.6.4°.5, 47 folia, Augsburg University library, bought by Paulus Hector Mair in 1552.
- 1522 Cod.I.6.2°.3, 43 folia, Augsburg University library, bought by Mair in 1561.
- 1523 Cod.I.6.2°.2, 72 folia, Augsburg University library, bought by Mair in 1544.
- 1523 Cgm 3711, 102 folia, München.
- Cgm 3712, 212 folia, München.
- MS 862
MS Cgm 3711 is peculiar in that some of the fencers are represented in humorous carnival costumes.
