Paul Max Bertschy (Latvian: Pauls Makss Berči; 1 January 1840 – 1 February 1911) was a Baltic German architect, working mainly in what is now Latvia.

Paul Max Bertschy was born in Strausberg in Germany, in a family of carpenters.

[1][2] He left Berlin due to its fierce competition and sought a career as an architect in what are now the Baltic states.

At the same time he accepted separate commissions and took on Wilhelm Neumann as his pupil.

His range was broad, and he designed private residences as well as religious and public buildings.
