Ferdinand IV of Limburg Stirum, count of Limburg Styrum zu Illereichen, sovereign lord zu Gemen. He was born in 1785, son of Johann of Limburg Stirum, and died at the age of 15 in 1800.

At the age of 13 he inherited the immediate lordship of Gemen from his grandfather, Alois of Limburg Stirum. With his death, the last German branch of the House of Limburg Stirum became extinct, though continuing to this day in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Gemen went to Reichsfreiherr Aloys von Boineburg-Bömelberg zu Erolsheim, then to the Fürsten von Salm-Kyrburg.
