Artur Dinter (27 June 1876 – 21 May 1948) was a German writer and theater director who was a member of Pan German and antisemitic organizations. He joined the Nazi Party and became the Gauleiter of Gau Thuringia in the Party's early years. However, he fell out with Adolf Hitler, was expelled from the Party and forbidden from publishing any works. He underwent post-war denazification proceedings and was issued a fine.
