Eduard Weiter (18 July 1889 – 2 May 1945) was a German bureaucrat who became a Schutzstaffel Obersturmbannführer and concentration camp commandant during World War II.

The son of a horsewhip maker, Weiter worked as a book salesman whilst studying part-time until he joined the German Imperial Army at the age of 20.

[1] He served as divisional and then regimental paymaster and following the reductions in the German military that followed the Treaty of Versailles he took up a similar position in the Bavarian police.

[3] Conditions did decline, however, notably due to overcrowding (as other more easterly camps were closed), but Weiter made little attempt to expand Dachau to cope with this influx.

[3] Weiter did not face trial, as he fled Dachau immediately before its liberation and reached castle Schloss Itter in Austria, where he died under mysterious circumstances.
