Rüdiger Fikentscher (born 30 January 1941) is a German politician and academic.
At the age of 48, during the period of changes that led, formally in 1990, to German reunification, Fikentscher switched to politics. As a member of the Social Democratic Party he was elected to the East German Volkskammer in the country's first—and last—free election. He has subsequently played a leading role in city and state politics in Saxony-Anhalt and in the Halle region.
