Benjamin Franklin Wedekind (24 Juli 1864–9 Maret 1918) adalah seorang pengarang sandiwara asal Jerman. Sering kali mengkritik sikap burjois (terutama terhadap seks), karyanya dianggap mempelopori ekspresionisme dan memengaruhi pengembangan teater epik.[1]

↑See Banham (1998) and Willett (1959). In his Messingkauf Dialogues, Brecht cites Wedekind, along with Büchner and Valentin, as his "chief influences" in his early years: "he", Brecht writes of himself in the third person, "also saw the writer Wedekind performing his own works in a style which he had developed in cabaret. Wedekind had worked as a ballad singer; he accompanied himself on the lute." (1965, 69).
