Niklas Süle (born 3 September 1995) is a German footballer who plays as a centre back for Hoffenheim.

Süle started his career with Rot-Weiß Walldorf. Later, he went to Eintracht Frankfurt, where he played until the end of the 2008–09 season. Afterwards, he moved to SV Darmstadt 98, and only half a year later to 1899 Hoffenheim. On 11 May 2013, Süle made his debut for Hoffenheim in a Bundesliga game against Hamburger SV. He started in the first eleven and was substituted for Andreas Ludwig in the 81st minute. Hoffenheim lost the game 4-1.

On 15 January 2017, Bayern Munich announced they had signed defender Süle on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee. He would join them in the summer of that year.

With the German U17 he participated at the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship.

He was part of the squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics, where Germany won the silver medal.

Süle was called up in August 2016 when the Germany national football team played Finland and Norway. He was brought off in the 59th minute against Finland.
