Heinrich Otto Wieland (June 4, 1877 - August 5, 1957) was a German chemist. He won the 1927 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research into the bile acids. In 1917 he succeeded Adolf von Baeyer as Chemistry Professor at the University of Munich.
Wieland tried successfully to protect people which were "racicaly burdened" after the Nuremberg Laws especially jewisch students. Students who were expelled because they were "racicaly burdened", could stay in the group of Heinrich Wieland as laborants or as "Gäste des Geheimrats" (guests of the privy councillor). After collecting money for the widow of Kurt Huber Clara Huber, Hans Leipelt a student of Heinrich Wieland was sentenced to death.
