A Wehrwirtschaftsführer (WeWiFü; German language plural: Wehrwirtschaftsführer) was, during the time of Nazi Germany (1933–1945), an executive of a company or of a large factory (). Wehrwirtschaftsführer were appointed, starting in 1935, by the (department which existed from 1939 for implementing the policy of directing the nation's economic activity towards preparation for and support of the war effort, including armaments) being a part of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW), that was pushing the build-up of arms for the Wehrmacht (which was founded in March 1935). Appointments aimed to bind the Wehrwirtschaftsführer to the Wehrmacht and to give them a quasi-military status.
