Franz Emil Lorenz Heeremann Graf von Wimpffen (2 April 1797 – 26 November 1870) was an Austrian General and Admiral who served as Administrative Head of the Austro-Hungarian Navy from 1851 to 1854.

He was the owner of Kainberg, Reitenau and Eichberg castles and estates in Austria and, as a Roman Catholic, was a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

In September 1854, von Wimpffen was dismissed as Oberkommandant der Marine by Emperor Franz Josef against the advice of his military advisers.

However well he had performed as Administrative Head of the Navy, von Wimpffen was known in military circles as "the General who had never won a battle".

On 5 October 1825, he married Baroness Maria Anna Marianne Cecilia Bernhardine von Eskeles (1802-1862), who converted from Judaism to Catholicism, in Hietzing, Austria.
