Friedrich-Wilhelm Müller (29 August 1897 – 20 May 1947) was a general in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany during World War II.

He led an infantry regiment in the early stages of the war and by 1943 was commander of the 22nd Air Landing Division.

[3] On 1 July 1944, Müller returned to his role of commander of Fortress Crete, replacing Bruno Bräuer, and was determined to penalise the locals for providing shelter to the Kreipe abduction team, confirming British fears of mass reprisals.

Under his orders, German infantry killed 164 Greek civilians which was followed in the coming days by the razing of most villages, looting, and the destruction of livestock and harvests.

He was sentenced to death on 9 December 1946 and executed by firing squad on 20 May 1947,[6] along with former General Bruno Bräuer, on the anniversary of the Axis invasion of Crete.
