Fritz Stöckli is a Swiss bobsledder who competed in the early 1950s. He won a gold medal in the two-man event at the 1953 FIBT World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. A week later in the four-man event, Stöckli would escape with minor injuries after landing on top of an American jeep after being thrown from the sled that took the life of his fellow Swiss Felix Endrich.

He also finished fourth in the four-man event at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo.
