Fritz Scheidegger (30 December 1930 – 26 March 1967) was a Swiss sidecar racer who won two Sidecar World Championships with passenger John Robinson.
1965 was a dominant performance from Scheidegger and Robinson with four wins and three second places netting them the world championship at the last round at Monza. If 1965 was a great performance, 1966 was even more so with the team winning every race, but with much controversy. They were excluded for a fuel irregularity at the Isle of Man TT, awarding the championship to Max Deubel and Emil Hörner, but reinstated three months later on appeal.
Scheidegger was killed while leading a race at Mallory Park in 1967. John Robinson was injured and retired from the sport
