Heinz Gottfried Nawratil (18 June 1937 in Suchdol nad Odrou, Czechoslovakia – 15 May 2015) was a German lawyer, legal author and human rights activist.

After World War II Nawratil settled in Bavaria, West Germany, where he grew up in Miesbach. He studied law, earned a doctorate and worked as a civil law notary beginning in 1970.[1] He was awarded the Förderpreis of the »Stiftung der Deutschen Gemeinden und Gemeindeverbände zur Förderung der Kommunalwissenschaften« in 1965.[2] He is also known for his research on the expulsion of Germans after World War II, which has been criticized by German historian Martin Broszat (former head of Institute of Contemporary History in Munich) as "polemics with a nationalist-rightist point of view". Borszat wrote about Nawratil that he "exaggerates in an absurd manner the scale of 'expulsion crimes'".[3]
