Kurt Lottner (30 October 1899 – 15 March 1957) was a German general during World War II.

Lottner was Kampfkommandant of Lübeck in April/May 1945.

On 2 May, British troops prepared to conquer Lübeck.

Lottner, NSDAP-Kreisleiter Bernhard Clausen, mayor Otto-Heinrich Drechsler, Police chief Walther Schröder and officers in place agreed that a fight against the advancing 11th Armoured Division was senseless.

They gave orders to remove the explosive charges already put in place at bridges and harbour facilities.
