Christoph Scheibler (born 6 December 1589 in Armsfeld, died 10 November 1653 in Dortmund) was a German philosopher, classical philologist, Lutheran theologian and metaphysician. He was Professor of Logic and Metaphysics at the University of Giessen from 1610. He was appointed as Superintendent, i.e. Bishop, in 1625.
