Konrad von Jungingen (1355 - 30 March 1407) was the 25th Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, from 1393 to 1407.

Born in Jungingen in South-Western Germany, Konrad was the elder brother of Ulrich von Jungingen, who was his successor, as 26th Hochmeister of the Teutonic Order.

An invasion army under Konrad conquered the island of Gotland in 1398, destroyed parts of Visby, and drove the Victual Brothers out of Gotland and the Baltic Sea. The Monastic State of the Teutonic Knights in Prussia was at the peak of its power.

Konrad died at Marienburg Castle and was buried there.
