The health of Adolf Hitler, the dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945, has long been a subject of popular controversy, including both his physical and mental states.

Hitler had genetic markers for Kallmann syndrome, as revealed by 2025 DNA analysis. He is noted as having had a very strong sweet tooth. His other suspected health issues were exacerbated by the many drugs he was given by his unconventional doctor, Theodor Morell, as well as the 20 July 1944 attempt on his life. Partly because he had hand tremors late in life, it has been speculated that he had syphilis or Parkinson's disease.
