Torkel Weis-Fogh (25 March 1922 – 13 November 1975) was a Danish zoologist and Professor at the University of Cambridge and the University of Copenhagen. He is best known for his contributions to the understanding of insect flight, especially the clap and fling mechanism used by very small insects. James Lighthill named this "the Weis-Fogh mechanism of lift generation".

Weis-Fogh, Sohn eines Bankangestellten und Buchhalters, studierte in Kopenhagen bei dem Nobelpreisträger und Physiologen August Krogh (dessen Assistent er ab 1947 war), wobei er sich mit der Wüsten-Heuschrecke (Schistocerca Gregaria) als Versuchstier befasste. Er blieb noch bis zu dessen Schließung 1953 an Kroghs ehemaligem Labor (das er nach dem Tod von Krogh 1949 leitete) und war dann ein Jahr am Institut für Neurophysiologie in Kopenhagen, bevor er vier Jahre nach Cambridge ging mit einem Rockefeller-Stipendium. 1958 wurde er Professor für Zoophysiologie in Kopenhagen (ein für ihn neu geschaffener Lehrstuhl), bevor er 1966 Professor für Zoologie u (de) Torkel Weis-Fogh est un zoologiste danois, né en 1922 à Aarhus et mort le 13 novembre 1975 à Cambridge.

Après la mort de Krogh, il continue de travailler dans son laboratoire jusqu’à sa fermeture en 1953. Après avoir passé un an dans l’Institut de neurophysiologie de Copenhague, il séjourne quatre ans à Cambridge. Il revient enseigner la physiologie animale à Copenhague mais retourne à Cambridge en 1966 où il occupe la chaire de zoologie de l'université de Cambridge jusqu’en 1975.
