Ryan Guettler (born 17 July 1983) is a BMX Dirt and Freestyle rider from Beenleigh, Australia. Making his international debut at the 2001 Asian X Games alongside Colin MacKay and Jesse Boughton, Guettler won a silver medal, Colin won a bronze medal and Jesse took the gold. Guettler moved to U.S. appearing in the Global X Games, where he represented Australia.

Basing himself in Huntington Beach, he toured extensively, placing 1st in the Vans Triple Crown series in Dirt in 2004. He became a regular on the Dew Tour, an American five-city, BMX and extreme sports circuit, from 2004. Competing against rivals Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist, Guettler took the BMX Dirt events, and the Park events, to become the tour's first two-discipline winner. He went on to compete in later Dew Tour events, such as Salt Lake Cithy where he performed a 1080, double backflip, front flip, flairs and a double whip for second place. However, due to injuries including a grade III shoulder separation, he has not been able to carry over his earlier tour wins.

Guettler appeared in part in Season 3 of BMX P.I.G filmed in Singapore, where his team partner was Dave Dillewaard. His sponsors have included Colony BMX and Hyper Bicycles. Guettler released a signature bike from MirraCo called The Black Pearl, and designed a pair of Vans shoes.
