Adolph Proskauer (1838 – 1900) was a Jewish officer in the army of the Confederate States of America during the United States Civil War. He rose to the rank of major.[1][2][3][4]

Major Adolph Proskauer of Mobile, Alabama was wounded several times. A subordinate officer wrote "I can see him now as he nobly carried himself at Gettysburg, standing coolly and calmly with a cigar in his mouth at the head of the 12th Alabama amid a perfect rain of bullets, shot and shell. He was the personification of intrepid gallantry and imperturbable courage.

His nephew was Joseph M. Proskauer a prominent New York attorney, Judge, and founding partner of the law firm Proskauer Rose.[5]
