Karl Höltermann (20 March 1894 – 3 March 1955) was a German Social Democratic activist, journalist and politician who served as the chairman of the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold from 1931 until its forced dissolution in 1933. He also served as a member of the Reichstag (German parliament) for just over a year, from 1932 to 1933. By trade he started out as a typesetter, but after his wartime experiences he re-emerged as a successful party-political journalist.
