Fritz Kraemer (12 December 1900 – 23 June 1959) was a high-ranking Waffen-SS commander and war criminal during the Nazi era.

In January 1943, he was appointed as a staff officer of the I SS Panzer Corps commanded by Sepp Dietrich.

During the battles in Normandy, Krämer acted as Dietrich’s deputy, and eventually succeeded Hubert Meyer as commander of the SS Division Hitlerjugend.

He was found guilty of war crimes for his role in the drafting and transmission of illegal orders.

The orders, which were authorized by Dietrich, directed that prisoners of war could be shot "if necessary, in very compelling situations".
