Richard Stumpf (20 February 1892 (according to another source, 21 February 1892) – 23 July 1958) was Roman Catholic, a tinsmith and a member of a Christian trade union.
From 1912 to 1918 he served in the High Seas Fleet of the German Imperial Navy.
From just before the start of the First World War to its end, he wrote a personal war diary.
Because the diary comprehensively represented the internal situation in the fleet from the perspective of a normal sailor, it has been documented in full length by the enquiry commission of the German Weimar Republic parliament (Reichstag) in its investigation report.
