Volkmar Weiss (born 23 May 1944 in Zwickau, Saxony) is a German scientist and writer, primarily interested in the field of IQ research.[1] He is mostly known for his controversial thesis that biological intelligence is fixed to social class and for co-founding the German Social Union.

He was previously a member of the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) from 1990 to 1993.[2] In his controversial book Deutschland schafft sich ab Thilo Sarrazin refers to and uses Weiss' arguments [3] to support his own conclusions in ch. 8.[4]
