Friedrich von Gärtner (born December 10, 1791 in Koblenz; died April 21, 1847 in Munich) was a German architect.

He and Leo von Klenze are known as the most famous architects of Bavaria under Ludwig I. His style was generally Romanesque, much to the king's taste.

Gärtner's Ludwigskirche in the Ludwigsstrasse in Munich strongly influenced other churchly architecture, especially in Northern America.
