Kurt Freiherr von Liebenstein (28 February 1899 – 3 August 1975) was a general in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany during World War II.
On 10 May 1943 he was decorated with the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Three days later, while commanding the 164th Infantry Division, he surrendered to the British forces in Tunisia, with the 164th Infantry earning the distinction of being "the last major German formation in North Africa to lay down its arms". He was sent to Trent Park, a special camp for generals north of London. In 1955, he joined the Bundeswehr. In 1960, he retired as Generalmajor.
