Friedrich von Wendt (28 September 1738 in Sorau – 24 September 1818 in Erlangen) was a German physician.

He studied medicine at the Universities of Halle and Göttingen, earning his doctorate at the latter institution in 1762. Following graduation he successively worked as a physician in the town of Genthin, served as a Stadtphysicus in Pless (Upper Silesia) and was a personal physician to the Prince of Anhalt. In 1778 he was appointed professor of medicine at the University of Erlangen, where he founded a clinical institute later the same year.[1]

In 1808–09 he published the journal "Annalen des Klinischen Instituts auf der Akademie zu Erlangen".[2] From 1811 to 1818 he was president of the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina.[3]
