Wolfgang Ziffer (born October 26, 1941) is a German voice actor and actor from Wuppertal.

Like a number of people in the voice acting industry, Ziffer is rarely seen live on film or television. Examples of his roles include Roger Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Calimero in Calimero, Gulliver the Raven in Benjamin the Elephant, and Iago the Parrot in Aladdin. He frequently voices robot characters such as Number 5 in Short Circuit, V.I.N.CENT in The Black Hole, and C-3PO in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. He is also the voice of Jonathan Livingston Seagull in the film bearing the same name.

In the TV series Riptide, Ziffer dubs over the character of Murray 'Boz' Bozinsky (played by Thom Bray). He is also the official dubover artist of Michael Keaton, Terry Jones, and William Wise. Additionally, he dubs over Corporal Peter Newkirk (played by Richard Dawson) in Hogan's Heroes.

Ziffer currently lives in Berlin, and is married to actress Edeltraud Elsner. He is the father of voice actress Julia Ziffer.
