John Barchilon wrote a novel based on Wittgenstein's life called The Crown Prince.
An episode of the long-running television series M*A*S*H, "Morale Victory," featured James Stephens as a drafted concert pianist who suffers debilitating nerve damage in his right hand after being wounded in combat. Charles Winchester (David Ogden Stiers) provides him with the sheet music for Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand, tells him Wittgenstein's story, and encourages him not to abandon his musical gift.
Paul Wittgenstein appears as a character in Derek Jarman's 1993 film Wittgenstein, about his brother Ludwig Wittgenstein.
