Counter-Admiral Jørgen Conrad de Falsen (19 August 1785 – 23 August 1849) was a Norwegian naval officer who served in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Despite being plagued by ill health, he saw active service in the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy throughout the Gunboat War, and eventually rose to the rank of rear admiral in the Royal Danish Navy. Falsen married twice, the second marriage being to a lady-in-waiting to the Queen of Denmark.
