Moshe Lvovich Gutman (Belarusian: Мойша Львовіч Гутман, romanized: Mojša Lvovich Hutman 21 September 1883 – 20 June 1938), also known as Moshe Kamenshtein, was a Lithuanian Jewish politician and activist who was active in Belarus and Ukraine in the first quarter of the 20th century. He was a member minister without portfolio in the short-lived independent Belarusian Democratic Republic (1918–19).[1]

He was born in Vepriai, Kovno Governorate, present-day Lithuania.[1]

In 1917, he was elected a member of the Ukrainian Central Rada.[citation needed] At the end of 1917 he was elected Member of the Executive Committee of the Belarusian National Council (temporary quasi-government of Belarus) as a representative of the Jewish minority.[2]

Following the announcement of Belarus's independence in March 1918, he represented the Jewish minority in the Belarusian government. He also helped draft the first constitution of the Belarusian People's Republic.[2]

He was executed in 1938, during the Great Purge.[1][2]
