The House of Walderdorff is the name of an old and distinguished German noble family, whose members occupied many important ecclesiastical positions within the Holy Roman Empire.

Since the 17th century the family has been residing on Molsberg Castle in the then Duchy of Nassau. Later several members settled and became wealthy residing in Hesse as well as in the Kingdom of Bavaria and Kingdom of Prussia.

In the 20th century one branch originally from Wiesbaden settled in the United States of which Tessa Gräfin von Walderdorf is an offspring. She would marry Barron Hilton II of the Hilton family.
