Count Wolrad IV ‘the Pious’ of Waldeck-Eisenberg (7 July 1588 – 6 October 1640), , official titles: Graf zu Waldeck und Pyrmont, was since 1588 Count of Waldeck-Eisenberg. He founded of the new line of Waldeck-Eisenberg.

Never before was the independence of the County of Waldeck more threatened by Hesse than during the reign of Count Wolrad IV. Together with his elder brother Christian, however, he later successfully continued the sovereignty-oriented territorial policy of their father Josias I. They made use of the legal possibilities and chose during the for Waldeck disastrous Thirty Years’ War the for them favourable side of Sweden. However, neither count lived to see the end of the war and with it the conflict with Hesse.
