Moritz Ferdinand Freiherr[a] von Bissing (30 January 1844 – 18 April 1917) was a German officer from Prussia.

He was the son of Moritz von Bissing, a member of the landed gentry who was known to speak his mind to the Kaiser.

Gaining steady promotion, in 1887 the young Major was appointed as an aide-de-camp to the crown prince, who later became the Emperor Wilhelm II.

Upon the outbreak of the First World War, Bissing was recalled to active duty as deputy commander of the VII Army Corps, serving in that post from August until November 1914.

As the German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg encouraged Flemish nationalist leaders to declare independence and to integrate into the German sphere, Bissing convened a commission to organise the division of Belgium, issuing a decree on 21 March 1917 which separated Belgium into two administrative areas, Flanders and Wallonia.
