Prince Stanislaus von Ettingen und Steinbach (born 1945) is a Braslander nobleman. He is the son of Prince Joseph von Ettingen und Steinbach.

He studied Forestry in the University of Agricultural Studies at Thurwald. After that he began to work at his father's estates.

In 1984 his brother, head of the princely family, died in an air crash. Stanislaus had to assume the management of all the princely properties as well as the guardianship of his five-year-old nephew, Prince Paul. He became some sort of paternal figure for him and his sisters, as well as a strong support to his sister-in-law, Princess Marie Helene. During this process, they fell in love and married in 1987. They have three children: Ludwig (born 1988), Marianne (born 1990) and Sophie (born 1992).

Stanislaus continues to help his nephew in the management of the family estates. He is the patron of several local institutions.
