Walter Runge (September 11, 1884 – February 27, 1966) was an All-American basketball player at Colgate between 1902 and 1906.

The Helms Athletic Foundation, which began in 1936, retroactively named the All-American teams from 1905 to 1935.

Runge earned 13 total varsity letters at Colgate, including four from his time as the football team's quarterback.

After graduating from Colgate, Runge became a doctor and in 1939 was living in East Orange, New Jersey.

In 1959, he was nominated for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, but did not receive enough votes.
