Gustav Renker (October 12, 1889 – July 23, 1967) was an Austrian and Swiss journalist and writer known for his literary regionalism.

Renker has published over sixty novels, some of which have been made into a film. His work is mostly attributable to the anti-modern province literature of the interwar period.[1]

He was the father in law of Heinrich Sutermeister. Part of his literary estate is archived in the Carinthian literary archives in Klagenfurt.[2]
