Gary Brian Mittelholtz (28 May 1954 13 March 2010) was a Canadian radio journalist, known foremost for his work with CBC Radio in New Brunswick. His radio reporting won him a gold prize at the Atlantic Journalism Awards.[1]

Mittelholtz was born in Toronto, Ontario where he received a Radio and Television Arts degree from Ryerson University in 1977. His broadcasting career was entirely with CBC Radio first in Toronto where he began following graduation, then at Thompson, Manitoba, finally New Brunswick where he was based with CBC in Saint John.[2]
