Bert Dietz (born 9 February 1969) is a German former racing cyclist.^[1] He won the Hessen-Rundfahrt in 1992.^[2]

In 1993, Dietz became national amateur road race champion in Germany, and became professional cyclist for Team Telekom. The biggest win of his career came already in 1995, when he won the queen stage in the Vuelta a España; he had ridden in the attack that day and was caught by leader Laurent Jalabert, but Jalabert allowed Dietz to finish first.

In 1996, Dietz was second in the Tour of Sweden, and in 1997 he won a stage in the Vuelta an Aragon. In 1999 he moved to RSG Nürnberg, and in 2000 he ended his career, with the World Championship road race being his final race. The next year, he started as a team leader for Team Olympiapark München.

On 21 May 2007, Dietz admitted in a TV-show for ARD that he had regularly used EPO since 1995, helped by the staff and medical team of the Telekom team. His confession triggered more confessions of former teammates, including Tour de France winner Bjarne Riis.^[3]
