Ludwig Georg Thedel Graf von Wallmoden (6 February 1769 – 22 March 1862) was an Austrian General of the Cavalry, best known for his training of light infantry and the refinement of the Tirailleur system.

While serving in the Prussian army as a captain in Wolfradt's hussars he distinguished himself at the battle of Kaiserslautern winning the Pour le Mérite but was simultaneously bayoneted in the chest.

[2] In August 1816 he was made Oberbefehlshaber (supreme commander) of the Austrian troops sent to the kingdom of Naples for the Neapolitan War.

When in 1827 Naples was completely evacuated by the Austrian troops, Wallmoden became on 21 March 1827 Militärcommandant to Milan and he was made a secret counsel on 20 January 1831.

On 1 March 1848, he was appointed deputy to Field Marshal Count Radetzky and on 19 October 1848 he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Austrian Order of Leopold in retirement.

After his retirement he lived in Vienna and, after falling and breaking his leg, he died there in his 94th year on 20 March 1862, leaving no legitimate issue.
