Walter Buch (24 October 1883 – 12 September 1949) was a German Nazi jurist who served as Chairman of the Uschla/Supreme Party Court from 1927 to 1945. Buch was early member of the Nazi Party, the SA, and the SS, a close associate of Adolf Hitler, and a participant in the Beer Hall Putsch. Buch was appointed chief judge of the Uschla in 1925, an important position for settling disputes within the party, despite having no formal legal training. Buch's insistence on prosecuting major Nazi officials for moral issues alienated Hitler and other powerful party members, causing his own power and influence to decline, serving as a figurehead from 1942 until the end of the World War II in 1945.
