Bruno Kiesler (22 December 1925 – 10 June 2011) was a German farmer, politician and party functionary of the Socialist Unity Party (SED).

Kiesler rose to prominence after being hailed as a Stakhanovite activist in East German agriculture.

He held various positions in the GDR's agricultural sector, ultimately serving as head of the powerful SED Central Committee Agriculture Department for over twenty years before being pushed out in late 1981 for disagreeing with the SED's economic policies.
