Friedrich "Fritz" Ebert Jr. (12 September 1894 – 4 December 1979) was a German socialist and later Communist politician, the son of Germany's first president Friedrich Ebert.[1]

Ebert was originally a Social Democrat like his father before him, but is best known for his role in the origins of East Germany's ruling party, the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, in which he served in various positions.[1]
