Walter Schoeller (12 May 1889 – 16 May 1979) was a Swiss athlete best known for his time with Grasshopper Club Zürich.
His performance led Grasshopper to national titles in rowing (1912 and 1913), tennis (1918 and 1922), football (1921) and field hockey (1926 and 1927), and earning him the nickname "Mister GC".
