Hans-Peter "Hansi" Müller (born 27 July 1957 in Stuttgart) is a former German footballer who played as a midfielder. Both his parents were of Transylvanian Saxon descent (German: Siebenbürger Sachsen) that were deported from Romania after World War II.

Club career
Müller began his career playing for his hometown side VfB Stuttgart. After the 1982 FIFA World Cup, he moved to Italy to play for F.C. Internazionale Milano for two seasons, and subsequently also spent a season with Como.

In 1985, he moved to Austria to play with FC Swarovski Tirol, where he ended his playing career in 1990.

International career
Müller made his international debut in 1978. While at Stuttgart, Müller took part in UEFA Euro 1980 with West Germany, aged 22, after a brief taste of action at the 1978 FIFA World Cup, where he started all four games. The tournament would prove to be Müller's international peak as they emerged victorious. He had a disappointing 1982 World Cup, and despite playing in the Italian league, he made his 42nd and last appearance for West Germany the following year. In total he scored five international goals.

After retirement
Müller was an official ambassador for the city of Stuttgart for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and Innsbruck at UEFA Euro 2008.

Style of play
Müller was an elegant midfield playmaker, who usually played in the middle of the pitch. He was known for his clever passing and excellent left foot, as well as his charismatic presence and leadership on the field.
