Günter Lenssen (born November 25th, 1913 in Zeitz, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany, died June 10th, 1973 in Zeitz, Halle, East Germany) was an East German racing driver.

Lenssen first came to prominence in 1953 when he came third in the East German Formula Three championship. Lenssen stature in East German motorsport meant he was a shoe-in for the Formula One East German Grand Prix with French outfit Automobiles Deustch et Bonnet. After failing to qualify, Lenssen began to wind down his racing commitments and left the sport at the end of the season.
