Rumpelstiltskin is a dwarf fictional character in a fairy tale of the same name that originated in Germany (where he is known as Rumpelstilzchen).

The earliest known mention of Rumplestiltskin occurs in Johann Fischart's Geschichtklitterung, or Gargantua of 1577 (a loose adaptation of Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel) which refers to an "amusement" for children named "Rumpele stilt or the Poppart".
