Siegfried von Feuchtwangen, 15th Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Marienburg, Poland.

Siegfried von Feuchtwangen (died 1311) was the 15th Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, serving from 1303-11.

Von Feuchtwangen was born in Feuchtwangen in Middle Franconia, and was a relative of the earlier Grand Master Konrad von Feuchtwangen. He took the office after his predecessor, Gottfried von Hohenlohe, had abdicated. Von Hohenlohe's rule was marked by internal strife within the Order.

Under von Feuchtwangen, the order seized Danzig (Gdańsk) in 1308 and took control of Pomerelia, thus becoming Poland's strongest enemy. He moved the headquarters of the order from Venice, located there by his predecessor, to Castle Marienburg in Pomesania. Siegfried died there in 1311 and was buried in the cathedral of Kulmsee.
