Gustav Hermann William August Koenigs (21 December 1882 – 15 April 1945) was a German lawyer and State Secretary of Transport during the Weimar period and the Third Reich.
The conspirators of the 20 July plot planned for him to become Reich Transport Minister (German: Reichsverkehrsminister) had the coup d'état succeeded.
When his father became an official in the Prussian Ministry of Trade and Industry, the family moved to Berlin and he attended school in the district of Schöneberg.
He retained his position under Guérard's successors, Gottfried Treviranus and Paul Freiherr von Eltz-Rübenach, remaining in office after the Nazi seizure of power on 30 January 1933.

In Berlin, Koenigs had loose social contacts with conservative anti-Nazi plotters, such as Carl Friedrich Goerdeler, Ulrich von Hassell and Johannes Popitz.
