Heinz Lammerding (27 August 1905 – 13 January 1971) was a German SS officer convicted of war crimes during the Nazi era.

During World War II, he commanded the SS Panzer Division Das Reich that perpetrated the Tulle and the Oradour-sur-Glane massacres in occupied France.

After the war, Lammerding was convicted in absentia for having ordered the murder of approximately 750 French civilians, but remained protected by Germany after serving a prison sentence there.

According to Danny S. Parker, Lammerding had already been tried in West Germany, convicted of war crimes and had served a prison sentence.

They threatened to send in a commando unit to seize him, as the Israelis did in the case of Adolf Eichmann.
