Edmund Perry Kuempel (November 29, 1942 – November 4, 2010) was a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 44, based at Seguin, the seat of Guadalupe County in central Texas.
A native of Austin, Kuempel was the son of Henry H. Kuempel (1911-2014) and the former Ludora "Ludie" Langston (1909–1995). He graduated from Austin High School and received his Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Texas Lutheran University in Seguin. He played baseball at both schools. From 1965 until his death, Kuempel had been employed by Commercial Metals Company of Seguin.
In 1983, Republican state Representative Bennie Bock of New Braunfels, the seat of Comal County, declined to seek reelection in the then heavily Republican District 46, which since 2003, as District 44, has included Guadalupe, Gonzales and Wilson counties. Kuempel was nominated and elected to succeed Bock in a year in which the Republican candidates lost all statewide races in Texas, including the defeat of Governor Bill Clements. The district then included the Texas Hill Country counties of Guadalupe, Comal and Kendall. After the 1990 Census, Kendall was dropped from the district. At the time of his death, Kuempel was the last member of the House Class of 1982 still serving in the body.
