Friedrich Landolin Karl Freiherr von Blittersdorf (14 February 1792 - 16 April 1861) was a long serving politician-administrator in the Grand Duchy of Baden.
As a younger man he served in a succession of ambassadorial roles and undertook other diplomatic work.
Between 1835 and 1844 he became a dominating force in the government.
He approached his responsibilities with huge erudition and energy, combined with a powerfully conservative set of political instincts.
In this respect he contrasted with his cautiously reformist predecessor as head of the government, Ludwig Georg Winter.
