Walter Wurdeman (August 2, 1903 – September 17, 1949) was a leading architect who, with his partner Welton Becket, designed many notable buildings in Los Angeles, California. Wurdeman graduated from the University of Washington program in Architecture in 1927 with a Bachelor of Architecture degree (B.Arch.). After graduation, he apprenticed with the Seattle firm Bebb and Gould and participated in design of the Seattle Art Museum (now Seattle Asian Art Museum) in Seattle's Volunteer Park. After Wurdeman's death in 1949, Becket carried on the practice alone as Welton Becket Associates.
