Rudolf Schmundt (August 13, 1896, Metz - October 1, 1944, Rastenburg) was a General of the Wehrmacht during World War II who was killed in the Wolfsschanze (Wolf's Lair) near Rastenburg, East Prussia (today Kętrzyn, Poland) during the July 20, 1944 plot to kill Adolf Hitler. One of the conspirators, Claus von Stauffenberg was to place a bomb in a suitcase beside Hitler, but an officer moved it behind a heavy table leg.

Schmundt was posthumously awarded the German Order on October 7, 1944.
