Max Berg (17 April 1870 - 22 January 1947) was a German architect and urban planner.

Berg was born in Stettin, Pomerania]], now Szczecin), Poland. He attended the Technical University in Charlottenburg, where he was taught by Carl Schäfer who favoured Gothic architecture. Berg was also taught by Franz Adickes (1846–1915), an important urban planner.

In 1909 Berg was appointed senior building official in Breslau (Wrocław), Prussian Silesia. His most notable contribution to architecture is the Centennial Hall built between 1911 and 1913 as part of a series of works commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 1813 War of Liberation against Napoleon Bonaparte. It was designated a World Heritage Site in 2006.

In 1925 Berg moved to Berlin and then to Baden-Baden, where he died aged 76.
