Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger (14 April 1890 – 25 April 1947) was a German lawyer who became the State Secretary in the Reich Chancellery under Reichsminister Hans Lammers in Nazi Germany. He was Lammers' representative to the 20 January 1942 Wannsee Conference, at which the genocidal Final Solution to the Jewish Question was planned. He was arrested after the fall of the Nazi regime, incarcerated from 1945 to 1947 but released due to ill health and died without ever facing trial.
