Christoph Schappeler (1472 - August 25, 1551) was a German religious figure, the preacher at St. Martin's in Memmingen during the early 1500s, during the Protestant Reformation and the Peasants' War. He tended to side with the poor, causing the senate to regulate his sermons in 1516. However, by 1521 the climate had changed such that the senate was giving him support. When he was excommunicated in 1524, the senate refused to follow the bishop's order to have him banished.
