Heinz Rudolf Schiller (25 January 1930 to 26 March 2007) was a racing driver from Switzerland who took part in one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, on 5 August 1962, the German Grand Prix, where he retired with oil pressure problems in a Lotus 24 and scored no championship points. He had first been a speedboat champion in Switzerland before turning to sports car racing, finding success in the mid 1950s, and then moved to single seaters, starting in hillclimbing before circuit racing. In 1962 he drove for Ecurie Nationale Suisse and Ecurie Filipinetti, mostly in a three year old Porsche, and he finished third at Pau in 1963 and tenth at the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans with Gerhard Koch.
