Helmut Schühler (born October 31, 1942 in Tetschen-Bodenbach ) is a former German football player and football official. For FC Hansa Rostock , he played in the GDR Oberliga , the top division of the GDR Football Association .

Helmut Schühler began to play organized football at BSG Empor Stralsund in 1954. At another station at BSG Motor Stralsund , he last played in the second-rate GDR league . After relegation in 1967, BSG Motor Schühler delegated together with Günter Bräsel to the upper division FC Hansa Rostock. There he was immediately used in the top division season 1967/68 instead of the injured striker Wolfgang Wruck in the first team. After he had played seven league games and Wruck was operational again, Schühler was transferred to the second team, with whom he completed twelve point games in the GDR league by the end of the season. For the season 1968/69 the trained ship's pipe fitter was officially registered for Hansa II, played 28 of the 30 point games played there and was only substituted once in a league game. Also in 1969/70 Schühler was initially part of the second team's squad. It was not until the winter of 1970 with Jürgen Decker and Wolfgang Barthels that two regular Oberliga players were eliminated that Schühler moved back up to the first team and made eleven league appearances as a midfielder by the end of the season.

For the 1970/71 season had to be replaced with the resigned Heino Kleiminger and Barthels, two midfielders, and so Schühler was taken back into the league squad. In his fourth season at Hansa he finally managed to secure a regular place in the first team, he played 25 of 26 league games, usually in the left midfield. Until 1975 he was able to assert himself in the Hansa team, and at times also helped out as a defender. In the 1975/76 season he had to play in the GDR league after relegation in the preseason. After being used regularly in the first half of the season, he lost his regular place to the young Michael Mischinger in the spring of 1976. After the end of the 1975/76 season, Schühler ended his career as a football player in the performance area.

Within ten years he had played 152 championship, 22 national and two European Cup games for the first team. In these 176 games he came to a total of 17 goals. In the league he was used 135 times and scored 13 goals there. He achieved the best placement in 1968 when he was runner-up. He played his two European Cup games in the second round of the Messestädte Cup 1969/70 against Inter Milan (2-1, 0-3). From 1977 to 1990, Schühler, an engineering economist by profession, was a board member of FC Hansa Rostock and, in the meantime, a youth coach.
