Jörg-Peter Weigle (born 1953, in Greifswald), is a German conductor and music professor. He is the uncle of the conductor Sebastian Weigle and the violist Friedmann Weigle.

Weigle was principal conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic from 1986 to 1994. He conducted world premieres, including Georg Katzer's opera Antigone oder die Stadt. From 1995 to 2002, he was Generalmusikdirektor (GMD) of the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker.
