Wilhelm Dreher (10 January 1892 in Ay an der Iller, Neu-Ulm district – 19 November 1969 in Senden) was a German politician with the Nazi Party.

Dreher was a member of the Reichstag, first being elected in 1928 and retaining his seat until the defeat of Nazi Germany.[1] In the early 1930s, he was close to Gregor Strasser for a time.[2] He was recognised within the Nazi Party as an economics specialist and he wrote on this topic for Völkischer Beobachter.[3] In 1933, he became the Polizeidirektor in Ulm and an Oberführer in the SS.[4]
