Carl (or Karl) Heinrich Gustav Julius von Halfern (8 April 1873 – 20 October 1937) was a German administrative lawyer who served in the civil service under the German Empire and the Weimar Republic. He was the district administrator of the Saarbrücken district (1916–19), the Regional President of Hildesheim (1922–27) and of Stettin (1927–30) and Oberpräsident of the Prussian Province of Pomerania (1930–33). A member of the German People's Party, he was removed as Oberpräsident shortly after the Nazi Party came into power.
