Franz Sperr (born 12 February 1878 in Karlstadt-sur-le-Main; died 23 January 1945 in Berlin) was a member of German resistance against Nazism.
Partisan of federalism, opposed to Nazism, he resigned from the public service on 20 June 1934, set up his business and joined the resistance.
He brought together a small group of Bavarian monarchists such as ministers Otto Geßler, Anton Fehr, Eduard Hamm, but also bankers and businessmen.

[3] Thanks to Alfred Delp and Augustin Rösch, he came into contact during the winter of 1942 with the Kreisau Circle and notably met Helmuth James von Moltke.
