  • Friedrich von Arenstorff, född 1626, död 1689, tysk militär i svensk och dansk tjänst. Bror till Carl von Arenstorff. Friedrich von Arenstorff inledde sin militära bana som svensk officer i trettioåriga kriget. Han gick i dansk tjänst 1661 och deltog på deras sida i Skånska kriget. I 1670 blev han naturaliserad medlem av den danska adeln. Någon gång under våren 1678 blev han utsedd till befälhavare över de danska trupperna i Skåne. Efter det misslyckade försöket att undsätta de danska styrkorna i det belägrade Kristianstad blev han ställd inför krigsrätt och dömd att mista liv, ära och egendom. Dock benådades han av kung Kristian V och fikk också några år senare tjänst i centraladministrationen. På grund av händelserna i slaget vid Lund 1676 och misslyckandet i Kristiansstad har han erhållit eftermälet att inte varit någon lysande fältherre.
