Wilhelm Riphahn (also Wilhelm Riphan; born July 25, 1889 in Cologne – December 27, 1963 in Cologne) was a German architect.
Riphahn studied at the technical universities in Berlin-Charlottenburg, Munich, and Karlsruhe. He worked for a Siemens construction office in Berlin and in 1912 for "Gebrüder Taut & Hoffmann".
