The Wrangel family (sometimes transliterated as Wrangell or Vrangel; Russian: Врангель) is a Baltic German noble family with branches in several countries.^[1] Members of the family have also been part of the Swedish, Russian, Spanish, and Prussian nobility.

The family's earliest known patrilineal ancestor is the knight Eilardus (1241†).

The most prominent member of the family is perhaps Ferdinand von Wrangel, an admiral in the Imperial Russian Navy, Arctic explorer, and governor of Russian Alaska. Another notable family member, Herman Wrangel, served as governor-general of Livonia.^[2]
