Friedrich Adolf Riedesel, Freiherr zu Eisenbach (June 3, 1738, Lauterbach, Hesse – January 6, 1800) was the commander of a regiment of soldiers from the Duchy of Brunswick (Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel) among the German units hired by the British during the American War of Independence. They are mistakenly referred to as "Hessians" by some Americans, but were correctly identified as Brunswickers by their contemporaries.
