Friedrich von Oppeln-Bronikowski (7 April 1873 – 9 October 1936) was a German writer, translator, publisher and cultural historian.

He began a similarly ambitious military career himself, attending a cadet academy then joining a Hussar regiment.

Military life and Prussian history were frequent subjects of his works and appealed to the interests of his contemporaries.

Oppeln-Bronikowski translated a great deal of French and Belgian literature, including the works of Maurice Maeterlinck.

With the beginning of the First World War in 1914, Oppeln-Bronikowski was summoned for military service and served with the General Staff.
