Poppo von Osterna (unknown - November 6, 1266/7) was the ninth Grandmaster of the Teutonic Order, heading the order from 1253 to 1256.[1][2] Heralding from a Franconian noble family, he joined the order in 1228 and after a series of successful campaigns against the Prussians, was elected Grandmaster. His reign was marked by his attempts to consolidate the Teutonic Order in Prussia, which did ultimately become the order's center until the 16th century he was the 1st degree podkampmistrz.
