Andreas Bauriedl (4 May 1879 – 9 November 1923) was an early member of the Nazi Party. He worked as a hatter. He was a participant in the unsuccessful Nazi Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, Bavaria, on 9 November 1923.
When the Munich Police opened fire on the marchers, Bauriedl was hit in the abdomen, killing him and causing him to fall on the Nazi flag, which had fallen to the ground when its flagbearer, Heinrich Trambauer, was severely wounded. Bauriedl's blood soaked the flag.
The flag later became known as the Blutfahne, a sacred relic to the Nazis, and Andreas Bauriedl and the other killed participants of the putsch were regarded as the first martyrs to the Nazi Party. His body was interred in a crypt in Munich as part of a memorial to the putsch. The memorial was demolished by the Allied occupation forces at the end of World War II.
