Felix Landau (May 21, 1910, Vienna, Austria – April 4, 1983), was a SS Hauptscharführer, a member of an Einsatzkommando during World War II, based first in Lwów, Poland (today Lviv, Ukraine), and later in Drohobycz.
He was a "central figure in the Nazi program of the extermination of Galician Jews".
He is known for his daily diary and for temporarily sparing the life of the Jewish/Polish artist Bruno Schulz in 1942.
Landau liked Schulz's art and supplied him with protection and extra food.
In return, he ordered the artist to paint a set of murals for his young son's bedroom, depicting scenes from the Brothers Grimm fairy tales.
Landau also was the SS officer assigned to watch over Maria Altmann, the subject of the film Woman in Gold (2015).
