Kurt Sternberg (June 19, 1885 - September 21, 1942) was a German philosopher and author.

Sternberg, who was Jewish, fled to the Netherlands in 1939 to escape the National Socialists. He was nonetheless detained and sent to the Westerbork concentration camp and from there, to Auschwitz, where he perished in September 1942.[1]

There is a stolperstein in memory of Sternberg at Uhlandstraße 175 in the Charlottenburg neighborhood of Berlin.[2]
