Norbert Bolz (born 17 April 1953) is a German media theorist. He served as a professor at Technische Universität Berlin until his retirement in 2018.

Bolz developed a media theory, the "Theorie der neuen Medien", that is influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin and Marshall McLuhan. The German art historian Wolfgang Ullrich has characterized Bolz′s method as one of constant recycling: "[You] could get the impression that Bolz has been rewriting a single text year by year. Whole passages are repeated from one publication to the next."
