Verne Hedges Winchell (October 15, 1915 – November 26, 2002) was the founder of Winchell's Donuts.
He opened his first donut shop on October 8, 1948, in Temple City, California.
He was also a leading horse owner and breeder who started three horses in the Kentucky Derby: Classic Go Go, who finished fourth in 1981; Sea Cadet, who finished eighth in 1991; and Valiant Nature, who finished 13th in 1994.

In all, Winchell bred more than 60 stakes winners and raced more than 40. He had 25 broodmares at 320-acre Oakwind Farm, a Lexington, Ky.-area property that he bought in 1978.
