Bertil Edgar Gärtner (13 December 1924 – 20 September 2009) was a Swedish Lutheran bishop of Gothenburg (1970–1991) and professor of New Testament exegesis at Princeton Theological Seminary, United States. In 1969, Gärtner became provost of Gothenburg Cathedral and, on 24 July 1970, bishop of the Lutheran Diocese of Gothenburg. Like his predecessor Bo Giertz, Gärtner was theologically conservative and aligned with the High Church tradition. He wrote a number of books on the ministry of the Church as well as on New Testament subjects. He was also one of the Swedish church leaders opposing the ordination of women in the Church of Sweden. In addition, he served as Episcopal Visitor of Societas Sanctae Birgittae from 1972 onwards, Pro Ecclesia from 1990 to 1997, Laurentiistiftelsen from 1997 onwards, and Markusstiftelsen from 1998 to 2009.
