Richard Hermann Hildebrandt (13 March 1897 – 10 March 1951) was a German Nazi politician and SS-Obergruppenführer. During the Second World War, he served as a Higher SS and Police Leader (HSSPF) in Nazi-occupied Poland, the Soviet Union and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. He was the last head of the SS Race and Settlement Main Office in SS headquarters, charged with enforcing Germanization policies. After the war, Hildebrandt was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity by an American military court and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He was subsequently extradited to Poland to stand trial for separate charges, sentenced to death, and executed. Hildebrandt was the younger brother of Ernst-Albrecht Hildebrandt who was an SS-Oberführer and SS and Police Leader (SSPF) in northern Italy.
