Christoph Weigel (1654-1725) was a leading German engraver, publisher and goldsmith active in early 18th century Nuremberg.
He worked alongside his younger brother (also Christoph) and was closely associated with Johan Baptist Homann, the leading German cartographer of that time.
His widow carried on the family business after his death in 1725.
