Gustav Alexander Max Uth (24 November 1863 in Berlin – 15 June 1914 in Hermannswerder, Potsdam [1]) was a German painter of landscapes and art teacher.

Uth was the son of a manufacturer and enrolled at the Academy of Art in Berlin under Eugen Bracht. He opened his own atelier for women painters in 1897[2] in Berlin; among his students were Gertrud Berger (1870–1949), Laura Schaberg (1860 or 1866-1935) and Sophie Wencke-Meinken (1874–1963).

Paintings by him were among those exhibited in the AEG electricity pavilion at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900[3] and in the German Pavilion at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.[4] He was one of the founding members of the Berlin Secession in 1899, and one of the sixteen artists to leave it in 1902.[5][6]
