Günter Grabbert (also: Günther Grabbert; born January 15, 1931 in Schwerin; died December 15, 2010 in Leipzig) was a German actor.

Günter Grabbert came from the amateur drama movement and played his first roles in performances by a group of the Society for German-Soviet Friendship at the Pushkin House in Schwerin. From 1950 to 1953, he studied acting at the German Theater Institute Weimar Schloß Belvedere. From 1956, he was a member of the ensemble of the Leipzig Schauspielhaus. He was also a particularly busy actor in GDR cinema, for example in 1962 in “Beschreibung eines Sommers“ after Karl-Heinz Jakobs.

As a dubbing actor, he lent his German voice to Lex Barker, among others.

On the theater stage, Günter Grabbert played almost all the major roles - Faust as well as Mephisto, Richard III, Karl Moor, King Lear, Peer Gynt, Galileo Galilei, Goya, Nathan and Falstaff.

As a reciter, he was on the road with his own literary programs - after reunification throughout Germany - with texts by Goethe, Schiller, Ringelnatz and Wilhelm Busch, among others, usually accompanied by the guitarist Frank Fröhlich. His art of performance has also been recorded on recordings and audio books. One of his first releases in this regard was a record with Josef Čapek's Geschichten vom Hündchen und vom Kätzchen.

In 1986, he was awarded the National Prize II Class for Art and Literature as a member of the acting collective of the television film Ernst Thälmann.

Grabbert continued to appear in film and television even after reunification. He lived in the Gohlis district of Leipzig until the end.
