Prince Karl of Bavaria (German: Karl Maria Luitpold Prinz von Bayern) (1 April 1874 – 9 May 1927) was a member of the Bavarian Royal House of Wittelsbach and a Major General in the Bavarian Army.
Karl was born at Villa Amsee near Lindau in Bavaria. He was the second son of King Ludwig III of Bavaria and his wife Archduchess Maria Theresia of Austria-Este, member of the Austria-Este branch of the House of Habsburg.
Like his older brother Crown Prince Rupprecht, Karl joined the Bavarian Army and eventually reached the rank of Major General.
He never married and left no known descendants.
Karl died in Munich and is buried in the crypt of the famous Frauenkirche in the Bavarian capital.
