Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria[1][2] (German: Ferdinand Maria Ludwig Franz von Assisi Isabellus Adalbert Ildefons Martin Bonifaz Joseph Isidro, Prinz von Bayern[1][2]) (10 May, 1884, Madrid, Kingdom of Spain;[1][2] – 5 April, 1958, Madrid, Spanish State[1][2]) was the eldest son and child of Prince Ludwig Ferdinand of Bavaria and his wife Infanta María de la Paz of Spain.[1][2] Ferdinand became an Infante of Spain on 20 October 1905[1] and renounced his rights to the throne of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1914.

Ferdinand married his first cousin, Infanta Maria Teresa of Spain, second eldest child and daughter[1][2] of Alfonso XII of Spain and his second wife Maria Christina of Austria,[1][2] on 12 January 1906 in Madrid.[1][2] Ferdinand and Maria Teresa had four children:[1][2]
This marriage and the granted royal rank in Spain meant that Ferdinand (also known as Infante don Fernando Maria de Baviera y de Borbon), the third-generation Spanish-Bavarian, committed himself to Spain. His second marriage with a Spanish noblewoman changed nothing in that respect.
Ferdinand married for a second time to Maria Luisa de Silva y Fernández de Henestrosa, Duchess of Talavera de la Reina, daughter of Luis de Silva y Ferandez, 10th Count of Pie de Concha and his wife Maria de los Dolores Fernandez de Henestrosa y Fernández de Córdoba, on 1 October 1914 in Fuenterrabía, Spain. Maria Luisa was also granted the title Infanta of Spain.
Ferdinand survived his mother by 12 years and his father by 9 years. He had Alfonso XIII of Spain as his first cousin and brother-in-law and Prince Carlos of Bourbon-Two Sicilies as another brother-in-law. Spanish claimants Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia and Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona were his nephews.
