Hans Bernd von Haeften (18 December 1905 – 15 August 1944) was a German jurist during the Nazi era.

A member of the German Resistance against Adolf Hitler, he was arrested and executed in the aftermath of the failed 20 July plot.

[2] In January 1944 he stopped his brother, Lieutenant Werner von Haeften, from shooting Hitler with a pistol with the argument that this would break the Fifth Commandment.

On 15 August, Haeften was brought before the Volksgerichtshof, or People's Court, and accused of treason in connection with the plot.

[2] In August 1998, the German Bundestag cancelled the judgements of the Volksgerichtshofs and special courts with a law, zur Aufhebung nationalsozialistischer Unrechtsurteile in der Strafrechtspflege (overturning unjust National Socialist judgments in criminal cases).
