Lothar Berthold (30 August 1926 - 12 September 2007) was an East German Marxist historian, university teacher and publisher.
He was also an official of the country's ruling Socialist Unity Party ("Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands" / SED).
During the 1960s he was a member of the politburo's "Ideology Commission", widely regarded as one of the most committed and effective propagandists among East Germany's mainstream academic historians.
His publications and political engagement after reunification reflected a continuing commitment to East German-style communism.
