Jess B. Weiss (Born 1917[1] Bronx, New York - died June 28, 2007 Fort Lauderdale, Florida) was an American anesthesiologist and medical doctor.
Weiss was best known for redesigning the shape of the epidural needle by adding a T-shaped set of wings. This allowed anesthesiologists and physicians to more easily guide the needle into the spine of the patient.
