Louis William Geldricus Ernest of Bentheim and Steinfurt (1 October 1756 at Steinfurt Castle – 20 August 1817) was a member of the House of Bentheim-Steinfurt. He was an Imperial Count and was raised to Prince in 1817.

He was the second son of Count Charles Paul Ernest and his wife, Sophie Charlotte of Nassau-Siegen, the eldest daughter of Frederick William II, Prince of Nassau-Siegen. As his brother Charles (13 February 1753 – 5 September 1772) died before their father, Louis succeeded in 1780 as Count of Steinfurt.

On 17 July 1776, he married Princess Juliane Wilhelmine of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (30 April 1754 – 14 September 1823), with whom he had the following eight children:

  • Henriette Sophie (10 June 1777 – 8 December 1851), married in 1802 to Karl, 2nd Prince of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich (1762–1807)
  • Christian (1778–1789)
  • Alexius (20 October 1781 – 3 November 1866), Louis's successor as Prince of Bentheim und Steinfurt
  • William (17 April 1782 – 12 October 1839)
  • Louis (22 November 1787 – 4 February 1876)
  • Charlotte (5 May 1789 – 6 January 1874)
  • Eugene (28 March 1791 – 4 December 1871)
  • Sophie (16 January 1794 – 6 May 1873), married on 10 September 1823 to Landgrave Charles of Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld (27 June 1784 – 17 July 1854)
