Wilhelm Maybach (February 9, 1846 - December 12, 1929) was a German car-engine and automobile constructor and industrialist. He was born in Heilbronn[?], Germany and died in Stuttgart.

Maybach was the major collaborator with Gottlieb Daimler throughout the late 19th century through their development of the first internal combustion powered vehicles.
