Valentin Senger (28 December 1918, in Frankfurt – 4 September 1997, in Frankfurt) was a German writer and journalist. He is best known for his 1978 autobiography, Kaiserhofstraße 12, recounting his childhood at the central Frankfurt street Kaiserhofstraße as the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants who survived the Nazi era undetected.
