Ernst-Eberhard Hell (19 September 1887 – 15 September 1973) was a German general in Wehrmacht during World War II. He commanded several divisional commands and later an army corps. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, awarded by Nazi Germany to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership.
Hell surrendered to the Soviet forces in August 1944 during the Soviet Jassy–Kishinev Offensive (August 1944). He was held in the Soviet Union as a war criminal until 1955.
