Günther Schifter (23 December 1923 – 11 August 2008) was an Austrian journalist, radio presenter and record collector.

Born in Vienna, Schifter started collecting 78s of the popular music of the interwar years already as a boy. American popular music was banned by the authorities as Negermusik; Schifter was arrested at a dance in December 1944 and interned at Oberlanzendorf until 2 April 1945.
