Luther Halsey Reichelderfer (1874–1945) was a Washington, D.C., politician who served as the 16th president of the Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia, from 1930 to 1933.

He was also a founder of the American College of Surgeons and the first commander of the District of Columbia National Guard's Medical Corps.

After graduating he was hired as the assistant military instructor of the High School Cadet Corps and in 1895 became a Lieutenant in the District Guard.

Upon returning to the states he was promoted to the rank of Colonel in the Medical Reserve Corps and then left the military in 1921.

As his term coincided with the Great Depression his advice on matters of public health and social welfare were considered of high value.
