Weisel () is a municipality in the district of Rhein-Lahn, in Rhineland-Palatinate, in western Germany.

== Historical overview == Weisel was first mentioned as Wizzelo in 1128 in a deed of donation from Mainz Archbishop Adalbert I for the benefit of the Mainz Cathedral Chapter. However, the place may have existed much earlier, as the financial income now transferred came from Wezilo, who was Archbishop of Mainz from 1084 to 1088. A Roman burial mound discovered near the village in 1991 suggests that the area was already settled in Roman times.
