Ferdinand August Friedrich von Sammern-Frankenegg (17 March 1897 – 20 September 1944) was an Austrian lawyer and member of the Schutzstaffel (SS) who rose to the rank of SS-Brigadeführer in Nazi Germany. After the Anschluss with Germany, he was elected as a deputy of the Reichstag. During the Second World War, he was the SS and Police Leader (SSPF) of the Warsaw District and directed mass deportations from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp between July and September 1942. After he failed to suppress the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in April 1943, he was relieved of his command. While serving as a police area commander in Croatia, he was killed in action against Yugoslav partisans.
