contents The aim of this paper is to discuss the notion of Wieferich primes in the context of Drinfeld modules. Our main result is a surprising connection between the proprety of a monic irreducible polynomial $\mathfrak p$ to be Wieferich and the $\mathfrak p$-adic valuation of special $L$-values of Drinfeld modules. This generalizes a theorem of Thakur for the Carlitz module.We also study statistical distributions of Wieferich primes, proving in particular that a place of degree $d$ is Wieferich with the expected probability $q^{-d}$ when we average over large enough sets of Drinfeld modules.
