Walter Schmidt (2 August 1937 – 25 October 2024) was a German professional footballer who played as a midfielder or defender.

He joined the club in 1959 and quickly became a regular in the Oberliga Nord, then the first tier of German football.

Schmidt, who missed only one league game between 1963 and 1967, was one of the key players of Eintracht's German championship winning team of 1967.

However, an injury he suffered in 1969 forced Schmidt to retire from the game after missing the entire 1969–70 season.
