Friedrich Wilhelm Franz Nippold (September 15, 1838 – August 4, 1918) was a German Protestant theologian born in Emmerich am Rhein. In 1865 he received his habilitation at the University of Heidelberg, where in 1867 he became an associate professor.
From 1871 to 1884, he was a professor of church history at the University of Bern, afterwards moving to Jena, as a successor to Karl von Hase.
In 1907 he took his retirement in Oberursel, where he died on August 4, 1918. Nippold's primary interest involved modern church history, and he was associated with a number of current church policy concerns.
He was co-founder of the Evangelischer Bund (Protestant Federation), a movement for preservation of German Protestant interests.
