Friedrich Hossbach (22 November 1894 – 10 September 1980) was a German staff officer in the Wehrmacht who in 1937 was the military adjutant to Adolf Hitler.

The account of Hossbach was found among the Nuremberg papers, where it was an important piece of evidence.

In defiance of Hitler's orders, Hossbach took the file to Fritsch to warn him of the accusations that he was about to face.

Fritsch gave his word as an officer that the charges were untrue, and Hossbach passed that message back to Hitler.

He took over as commander of the 4th Army on 28 January 1945 but was dismissed two days later for defying Hitler's orders and withdrawing his troops from East Prussia in fear of a second Stalingrad.
