Friedel Tietze (1908–1953) was a German luger who competed in the late 1930s. She won two gold medals in the women's singles event at the European luge championships ( 1938, 1939).

After World War II, Tietze moved from the Karkonosze mountains to East Germany. There she married and became known as Friedel Kienzel-Tietze. She competed in the East German national championships up to her death year in 1953.

Tietze's older brother, Martin, won seven European championship medals in luge during the 1930s.
