Moshe (Mikhail) Gutman (sometimes spelled Guttmann; Belarusian: Мойша Гутман) was a Jewish Belarusian politician and Jewish activist who was a member minister without portfolio in the short-lived independent Belarusian Democratic Republic (1918–1919).

In 1917 he was elected a member of the Ukrainian Central Rada. At the end of 1917 he was elected Member of the Executive Committee of the Belarusian National Council (temporary quasi-government of Belarus) as a representative of the Jewish minority.
