Thomas Wandschneider (born 7 November 1963 in Buxtehude) is a German para-badminton player. He is a four time Para badminton world champion. He considered retiring in 2018, but changed his mind due to Badminton being at the 2020 Summer Paralympics. Wandschneider is also a 14-time gold medalist at the European Para-Badminton Championships.
In his second appearance at the Paralympics in 2024, he won a bronze medal in the men's singles WH1 event, gifting Germany's first para-badminton medal at the Paralympics. Wandschneider also became the oldest Paralympic medalist in para-badminton at 60 years old.
Wandschneider was diagnosed with paraplegia after a car accident in May 2000. Wandschneider was later introduced to para-badminton through an acquaintance from the hospital and made his debut in the sport at the 2001 IBAD Para-Badminton World Championships in Córdoba, Spain.
