Friedrich Wilhelm Grimme (25 December 1827, Assinghausen – 2 April 1887, Münster) was a German regional (Sauerland) writer and poet.

From 1847 he studied philology and theology at the University of Münster, followed by work as a schoolteacher at the gymnasium in Arnsberg. Afterwards he taught classes in Brilon (1854) and at the Paulinum in Münster (1855). From 1856 to 1872 he was a teacher at the Theodorianum in Paderborn, then later relocated to Heiligenstadt as director of the Catholic gymnasium (1872–85). Grimme was one of the 56 founding members of the Freies Deutsches Hochstift (Free German Foundation).
