Count Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt (Russian: Густав-Маврикий Максимович Армфельт, romanized: Gustav-Mavrikiy Maksimovich Armfel't; 31 March 1757 – 19 August 1814) was a Finnish-Swedish count, baron, courtier, general and diplomat who was later in Russian service.

In Finland, he is considered one of the greatest Finnish statesmen. His advice to Alexander I of Russia was of utmost importance for securing the autonomy of the Grand Duchy of Finland.
