Leutnant Walter Höhndorf (1892-1917) was a German pioneer aviator, test pilot, airplane designer and constructor, and fighter ace during World War I.

He was credited with twelve aerial victories while flying for the Imperial German Air Service.

Only one of his victories was achieved with a fighter squadron; the rest were scored while he flew for artillery direction and reconnaissance units.

In late 1915, he was assigned to Flieger-Abteilung (Flier Detachment) 12 to fly a single-seater; he shot down two Voisins a week apart, on 12 and 19 January 1916.

[1] After an assignment with Jagdstaffel 4, Höhndorf returned to test pilot duties, as well as instructing at Valenciennes.
