Gottfried Feder (1883-1941) was a German construction engineer and amateur economist, who was among the founders of the German Workers' Party, which became the Nazi Party. His lecture on economics, in 1919, first attracted Adolf Hitler.

Intensely opposed to banks, interest, and capitalism,he was decidedly of the left-wing faction that emphasized thesocialism in National Socialism. While he had a prominent role in Party economics into the early 1930s, he became an increasing liability for Hitler in forming alliances with the German right.
