Günter Kutzschebauch (27 October 1930 – 16 February 1996) was a high-ranking East German military officer and a party functionary of the Socialist Unity Party (SED).

Kutzschebauch rose through the ranks of the Volksmarine, reaching the rank of Vizeadmiral (equivalent to Vice admiral) in 1981.

In the 1980s, he transitioned to lead the Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik (GST), a paramilitary mass organization. He was forced into retirement after the Peaceful Revolution and committed suicide after German reunification.
