Wolfgang Otto Völz (16 August 1930 – 2 May 2018) was a German actor and voice actor. He is known for his roles in theatre plays, TV shows, feature films (especially German films based on Edgar Wallace works) and audio dramas. He was also a very prolific voice actor.

Völz studied acting and consequently worked as a stage actor. After more than ten years of acting, including a great deal of supporting roles in feature films and TV shows, he became a popular cast member (as Lt. Mario de Monti) on Space Patrol – The Fantastic Adventures of the Spaceship Orion. He continued being successful on the TV screen by playing Ioan (German: Johann), the driver and bodyguard of Graf Yoster (and afterwards many other characters).

As a voice actor, he dubbed American stars such as Walter Matthau, Peter Falk and Mel Brooks and characters in animated films like Impy's Island.
