Hugo Phillip Graf von Lerchenfeld auf Köfering und Schönberg (13 October 1843 in Berlin - 28 June 1925 in Köfering) was the representative of the Kingdom of Bavaria in Berlin from 1880 to 1918. Due to the dual nature of the King of Prussia also being the German Emperor in those years, in practice he functioned as the Bavarian representative to the national German government. He also served in this time as one of the six Bavarian delegates to the Bundesrat, the second chamber of the national parliament.
He studied law and joined the Bavarian foreign department in 1868.
He briefly held a post at the foreign ministry in München before serving abroad again, from 1871 in Saint St. Petersburg. From 1875 he was posted in Vienna and after this he served for 41 years as the Bavarian representative in Berlin.
In 1911, he became a Knight of the Hubertusorden. He died on 28 June 1925 in Köfering, near Regensburg.
