Winfred P. Lehmann (23 June 1916 in Surprise, Nebraska – 1 August 2007 in Austin, Texas) was a historical linguist who served as the director of the Linguistics Research Center, University of Texas at Austin from 1961 until his death.
He was educated in Wisconsin, receiving his Bachelor's degree from Northwestern College in Watertown in 1936, his Master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1938 and his Ph.D. from the same institution in 1941. He began teaching at UT-Austin in 1949 and was professor emeritus from 1986 until his death.
An important contribution was his Proto-Indo-European Syntax, the first and one of the few existing treatments of Proto-Indo-European syntax in a generative framework.
In 1979 he published an updated version of Schleicher's fable together with Ladislav Zgusta.
