List of German champions in biathlon

The list of German champions in biathlon includes all winners of the races for the German championships in biathlon . For men, the national title fights were held for the first time in the GDR in 1960, in the FRG only ten years later. Until 2001 the championships were held in winter, since 2001 because of increasing scheduling problems on roller skis in late summer. In 2001 it was initially conceived as a one-off solution due to a lack of snow, but the relocation became a permanent solution in the same year.

The men's record champion is Andreas Birnbacher with 17 individual titles. In the women’s category, Simone Hauswald is ahead with nine titles.
