Weinfelden is a town in the canton of Thurgau in north-eastern Switzerland. It is the administrative centre of the district of the same name. In December 2004 it had about 9500 inhabitants. Since it lies in the middle of the canton, part of the cantonal administration is located in the town, as is the Thurgau cantonal bank. The grand council of the canton meets in Weinfelden during the winter. The town is also a significant railway junction.

Weinfelden is an old town, which was known during the Roman times as Quivelda.
