Leopold Johann Otto Wilhelm of Limburg Stirum (December 27, 1681 – February 11, 1726), was count of Limburg Styrum from the branch Limburg-Styrum-Iller-Aichheim.
Limburg-Styrum-Iller-Aichheim was a County of medieval Germany, based in the Lordship of Iller-Aichheim. It was partitioned from Limburg-Styrum-Gemen in 1657. When the line of Limburg-Styrum-Gemen became extinct in 1782 the Counts of Limburg-Styrum-Iller-Aichheim inherited it and the Imperial Estate of Gemen. However, when in 1800 this line became extinct, it was inherited by Boyneburg-Bömelberg instead of Limburg-Styrum-Styrum.
He was the first son of Maximilian Wilhelm of Limburg Stirum. In 1712, he married countess Barbara Draskovich de Trakostjan (June 27,1687 - died before 1734). The couple had two children:
Maximilian Wilhelm of Limburg Stirum (1653–1728), count of Limburg Styrum, sovereign lord of Illereichen and Simontornya. He was the third son of Adolf Ernst of Limburg Stirum, sovereign lord zu Gemen.
- Maximilian Anton (born in 1713, probably died in 1726),
- Amalia Wilhelmine (born in 1714, died before 1755).
He died before his father and the sovereignty of Simontornya went over to his younger brother Karl Joseph Alois.
Simontornya is a town in Tolna County, Hungary.
