Raimondo, Count of Montecuccoli (Italian pronunciation: [rai'mondo monte'kukkoli]; German: Raimondo Graf Montecuccoli; 21 February 1609 – 16 October 1680) was an Italian-born professional soldier who served the Habsburg Monarchy.
He was also a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and Duke of Melfi, in the Kingdom of Naples. Montecuccoli was considered as the only commander to be the equal of the French general Turenne, (1611–1675), and like him, was closely associated with the post-1648 development of linear infantry tactics.
