Franz Ritter von Epp, born "Franz Epp", from 1918 "Ritter von Epp", (16 October 1868 – 31 January 1947) was a German general and politician who started his military career in the Bavarian Army.

He was a member of Bavarian People's Party, before joining the Nazi Party in 1928, when he was elected as a member of the German parliament or "Reichstag", a position he held until the fall of Nazi Germany. He was the "Reichskommissar", later "Reichsstatthalter", for Bavaria, and a "Reichsleiter" of the Nazi Party.
