Heinz Strehl (July 20, 1938 – August 11, 1986) was a former German football player.

A Bundesliga title-winner with 1. FC Nürnberg in 1968, Heinz Strehl was one of the proven goalscorers in West Germany in the 1960's and able to cap his West Germany debut against Yugoslavia on September 30, 1962, with a hat-trick in between the 23rd and the 62nd minute. An effort that still lists Strehl among the fastest fifteen hat-trick outputs in West German football history. Thanks to Strehl's goals West Germany came out 3-2 winner in Zagreb that day.

Beforehand, Strehl had already been part of Sepp Herberger's squad at the 1962 FIFA World Cup, not making any appearance. He added a fourth goal to his West German tally in spring 1966 against Cyprus (5-0) in a World Cup qualifier that remained his final match for West Germany.

Aged 48, Heinz Strehl died on August 11, 1986, of heart failure.

[edit] Trivia

• Strehl's 76 goals in the Bundesliga for 1. FC Nürnberg are still the most goals scored by an individual player of 1. FC Nürnberg in their Bundesliga history.
