Leonard Kaupitsch or Leonhard Kaupisch (1 September 1878 – 26 September 1945) was an officer of the German Army for 44 years, from 1898 to 1942. He is best remembered (to the extent that he is remembered at all) as the leader of Germany's 1940 invasion of Denmark during World War II. He served as military governor of Denmark until 1942, when he retired from military service. He died of natural causes in 1945, several months after Germany lost the war.
