Ferdinand Adolf Freiherr von Ende (born 9 March 1760 in Lucklum (near Braunschweig); died 10 July 1816 in Cologne) was a German lawyer and Württemberg Minister of Justice.

His father was royal British and Hanoverian minister of state, real privy councillor and heir to Monzig near Meißen; his mother was the daughter of the Prussian general Adolph Friedrich von der Schulenburg.

He studied in Leipzig under the guidance of Hofmeister Höpfer and later moved to Göttingen,[2] where he became a member of the Landsmannschaft der Kurländer (student association).

[citation needed] In addition to his professional interest in law, von Ende also pursued historical studies.

His list of publications is as varied as his interests: Von Ende anonymously published several historical and legal essays in the braunschweigisch-lüneburgische Annalen and, with Andreas Ludolf Jacobi (1746–1825), published Sammlungen für Geschichte und Staatskunde aus den braunschweigisch-lüneburgischen Kurlanden (collections on history and political studies from the Braunschweig-Lüneburg Courlands).
