Konrad Wilhelm von Wernau (6 or 7 August 1638 – 5 September 1684) was a German clergyman who served as Prince and Bishop of Würzburg from his election on 31 May 1683 until his death in 1684.[1]

Konrad Wilhelm von Wernau was born in Dettingen [de] (part of modern Karlstein am Main) on 6 or 7 August 1638.

He was ordained as a priest on 21 December 1682. The cathedral chapter of Würzburg Cathedral elected him Prince-Bishop of Würzburg on 31 May 1683.

He died on 5 September 1684, without having had his election confirmed by the pope and without having been consecrated as a bishop.
