Max Kuttner (* February 24, 1883, in Baden near Vienna, Austria-Hungary; † October 17, 1953, in Straubing) was a German opera and operetta singer (tenor) and radio singer. Initially trained in a technical field, Kuttner worked as a designer in Frankfurt am Main while simultaneously training as a singer. He made his debut in 1905 at the Lortzing Theater in Berlin. Over the following years, he performed in various provincial theaters, including Posen, Weimar, and Colmar, eventually becoming a court opera singer in Weimar. Kuttner specialized in buffo tenor roles, excelling as both a singer and actor in roles such as Jacquino in "Fidelio," Monostatos in "The Magic Flute," and Pedrillo in "The Abduction from the Seraglio," as well as in Lortzing operas. His career was predominantly based in Berlin.

In the 1920s, Kuttner shifted his focus to operetta, achieving great success at major operetta theaters in the capital. He also gained recognition through his performances on Berlin radio from 1924 and as a recording artist. His early recordings appeared on Edison-Amberol cylinders around 1910, and he later recorded extensively for labels such as Beka, Odeon, Grammophon, Artiphon, Homocord, and Vox.

Of Jewish descent, Kuttner fled Nazi persecution in 1938, emigrating to Shanghai, where he performed under Alfred Dreifuß for several years. After World War II, the Shanghai troupe disbanded, and Kuttner returned to Germany in August 1947, settling in Straubing, Bavaria, where he passed away on October 17, 1953.
