Josef Meinrad Bisig, FSSP (born 2 September 1952) is a Swiss traditionalist Catholic priest, and co-founder and first superior general of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. He was originally a member of the Society of Saint Pius X but left when founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre illicitly consecrated four bishops.

Bisig became rector in 2006 and is also a councillor of his order. He has a licentiate in Sacred Theology, and was preparing a doctorate of theology as of 2006.[1] He speaks German, French, English and Italian.[1]
