Michael Weidt (born 22 February 1946) is a German photographer. He is known, in particular, for his portraits of East German theatre and movie stars. His repertoire has also covered the worlds of music, dance and the visual arts more generally.^[1]^[2]

Weidt grew up in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Early in 1964, aged just 18, he attempted an escape to West Berlin in order to be reunited with his grandmother who had brought him up during his early childhood, and whom he badly missed.^[3] The escape attempt failed, but Weidt survived.^[2]
