Roger von Gunten (born 1933) is an artist and sculptor, originally from Zurich, but in 1980 became a naturalized Mexican citizen.

He was the subject of a 1978 essay by Jomí García Ascot and was part of the Generación de la Ruptura which emerged after World War II ending the Mexican Muralist era.

Von Guten first came to Mexico in 1957 with a plan to travel on south along the newly opened Pan-American Highway, but ran out of money and made a decision to stay in his now adopted country.

He received the Fine Arts Medal 2014 in a ceremony at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City.
