Friedrich Middelhauve (17 November 1896 – 14 July 1966) was a German publisher and a politician of the Free Democratic Party (FDP). From 1947 until 1956 he served as FDP state chairman for North Rhine-Westphalia and, between 1952 and 1956, he was the party's deputy federal chairman. From July 1954 until February 1956, he was Deputy Minister-president and Minister of Economics and Transport in North Rhine-Westphalia. He also served as a member of the state and federal legislatures. On the right-wing of the party, he tried unsuccessfully to steer the FDP into a united bloc with smaller conservative parties in an effort dubbed the "National Collective".
