Friedrich Feher (born Friedrich Weiß, 16 March 1889 – 30 September 1950. Sometimes spelled with an accent as Friedrich Fehér) was an Austrian actor and film director. He first entered the film business in 1913, starting out as an actor but quickly gravitating toward directing.
He is perhaps best remembered as Francis, the protagonist of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). He directed Das Haus des Dr. Gaudeamus (English: The House Without Windows) the following year, based on a book by Thea von Harbou, in which his art directors mimicked the Expressionist set designs of Dr. Caligari; it is now considered a lost film.
Feher died in 1950 in Stuttgart at age 61.
