Adolf Berthold Ludwig Grimme (31 December 1889 – 27 August 1963) was a German politician, a member of the Social Democratic Party (SPD). He was the cultural minister in the Free State of Prussia during the later years of the Weimar Republic and after World War II, during the early years of the Federal Republic of Germany. During Nazi Germany, he was arrested as a member of the German Resistance and sentenced to prison. After the war, he filed a legal complaint against the judge who had condemned him and others. After years of delays, the case was dropped by the prosecutor.
