Wolfgang Seel (born 21 June 1948) is a German former footballer. He spent 12 seasons in the Bundesliga with 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Fortuna Düsseldorf and 1. FC Saarbrücken. He represented Germany 6 times, including a UEFA Euro 1976 qualifier against Bulgaria and 5 friendlies.

In the 1979 DFB-Pokal Final, played on 23 June in Hanover against Hertha BSC, Seel scored the winning goal in Fortuna's 1–0 victory in the 116th minute.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dfb.de/dfb-pokal/spieltag/?spieledb_path=%2Fmatches%2F561800|title=Spieltag|date=10 May 2014}} Seel intercepted a pass a Berlin defender had played back to his own goalkeeper, Norbert {{proper name|Nigbur}}, swerved around the lunging goaltender and scored with just four minutes to play in extra time. Under the rules in place at that time, had the game ended in a draw it would have been replayed several days later. Seel's goal earned Fortuna their first-ever Cup and made him a hero in Düsseldorf.

Wolfgang Seel also scored twice in Fortuna Düsseldorf's historic 7–1 win over FC Bayern München in the 1978/79 season, one of Fortuna Düsseldorf's highest-ever victories and one of the worst defeats in FC Bayern's history.{{Cite web|url=https://www.fussballdaten.de/bundesliga/1979/16/duesseldorf-bmuenchen/|title = Fortuna Düsseldorf - FC Bayern München | Bundesliga 1978/1979 - 16.
