Friedrich Krebs (9 May 1894 – 6 May 1961) was a German lawyer and Oberbürgermeister of Frankfurt during Nazi Germany. In March 1933, Krebs, a fervent antisemite and member of the Nazi Party, ousted the previous mayor, Ludwig Landmann, who was Jewish. Within two weeks Krebs fired all Jewish city employees, even before the German Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service formally removed Jews from government service.
