Alexander Ernst Alfred Hermann Freiherr von Falkenhausen (29 October 1878 – 31 July 1966) was a German General and military advisor to Chiang Kai-shek.
He was an important figure during the Sino-German cooperation to reform the Chinese Army.
In 1938 Germany, under pressure from Japan, ended its support for China and Falkenhausen was forced to withdraw from China.
Back in Europe, he later became the head of the military government of Belgium from 1940–44 during its German occupation. He was married twice, firstly to Paula von Wedderkop (8 October 1879 – 3 March 1950) and then in 1960, to Cecile Vent (16 September 1906 – 1977), both without issue.
He was a nephew of Ludwig von Falkenhausen, who was the governor-general of Belgium during the German occupation, from 1917–1918, in the First World War and a direct male line descendant of Karl Wilhelm Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, by his mistress Elisabeth Wünsch.
