Konrad Paul Kujau (27 June 1938 – 12 September 2000) was a German illustrator and forger.
He became famous in 1983 as the creator of the so-called Hitler Diaries, for which he received DM 2.5 million from a person who in turn sold it for DM 9.3 million to the magazine Stern.
The forgery resulted in a four-and-half year prison sentence.
