Josef Meinrad Bisig, F.S.S.P. is a Swiss Roman Catholic priest, and co-founder and first superior general of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter.

Bisig became rector in 2006 and is also a councillor of his order. He has a licentiate in Sacred Theology, and is currently preparing a doctorate of theology.[1] He speaks German, French, English and Italian.[1]
