Julius Schaub (August 20, 1898 – December 27, 1967) was the chief aide and adjutant of German dictator Adolf Hitler at the end of World War II.

Schaub was born in Munich in Bavaria. He become Hitler's aide in 1940. In the aftermath of the July 20 Plot to kill Hitler in 1944, Hitler had a badge struck to honor all those injured or killed in the blast. Hitler's aides later said that Schaub, who was in a building some distance from the explosion, falsely tried to claim he was injured so as to be able to wear the badge.

At the end of the war, Hitler ordered Schaub to burn all his personal belongings in his flats in Munich and in Obersalzberg. His final rank, from 1944, was as an SS-Obergruppenführer. Schaub died in Munich in 1967.
