Walter Schuhmann (3 April 1898 – 2 December 1956) was a Nazi Party official who became head of the National Socialist Factory Cell Organization (NSBO).

[1] Schuhmann joined the Nazi Party (membership number 19,874) and its paramilitary organization, the Sturmabteilung (SA), in October 1925.

Ley, seeking to build up the new DAF into his own power base, quickly worked to reduce the status of the NSBO.

[4] The NSBO, like the SA, was on the Party's social-revolutionary wing and gradually lost influence after the Röhm purge of 30 June 1934.

From 1943 he was employed as Ministerial Director under Fritz Sauckel, the General Plenipotentiary for Labor Deployment, and held the Party rank of Hauptstellenleiter.

Reelected in each subsequent election, he would continue to serve in the Reichstag until the fall of the Nazi regime in May 1945, switching to Wahlkreis 2 (Berlin) in 1932.
