Helmuth Wilberg (1 June 1880 – 20 November 1941) was a German officer of Jewish descent and a Luftwaffe General of the Air Force during the Second World War.

In 1913, he enlisted in the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Force), and was one of Germany's first military pilots.

However, it was revealed Wilberg had a Jewish mother, which according to the Nazi racial laws he would be considered a "half-Jew" (Halbjude).

[4] Not wishing his talent to go to waste, Göring had him reclassified as being "Aryan" and Wilberg remained in the air staff, helping draw up its principal doctrine, "The Conduct of the Aerial War", and its "Regulation 16" under Walther Wever.

In 1937, he created "Special Staff W", responsible for collecting and analyzing the tactical lessons learned by the Legion Condor during the Spanish Civil War.

In the mobilization prior of the 1939 Invasion of Poland, Wilberg was reactivated and used as head of aviation training command.
