Fritz Dieter (born August 31, 1931 in Burg ; † May 29, 2002 in Berlin ) was a German architect who was involved in the planning of the East Berlin television tower from 1964 to 1969 and who claimed authorship for the entire structure, which had been the case for decades is controversial because other architects also claim authorship.

Dieter and Günter Franke are considered to be the leading architects of the Berlin television tower, the authorship of which is still controversial today, as the architect Hermann Henselmann also claimed the architectural design.
