Gottlieb Mittelberger (1714 – 1758) was a German author, schoolmaster, organist, and Lutheran pastor. He was best known for his work Journey to Pennsylvania (1756). Mittelberger's travelogue provides a firsthand historic account of the misery and exploitation of German immigrants during the US colonial period. In his work, he tries to convince his fellow Germans not to immigrate to the American colonies, as the forfeiture of freedom, cost of money, lack of health, and loss of life are too exorbitant to risk and sacrifice. Although never an indentured servant, Mittelberger's written testament is one of several surviving historic works describing the hardships of the redemption system.

Er arbeitete als Schulmeister und Organist im Amt Neu-Providence, Pennsylvanien. Über seine Reise nach Pennsylvanien im Jahre 1750 und Rückreise nach Deutschland im Jahr 1754 verfasste er einen erschütternden Reisebericht mit dem (orthographisch behutsam modernisierten) Titel Gottlieb Mittelbergers Reise nach Pennsylvanien im Jahr 1750 und Rückreise nach Deutschland im Jahr 1754: enthaltend nicht nur eine Beschreibung des Landes nach seinem gegenwärtigen Zustand, sondern auch eine ausführliche Nachricht von den unglückseligen und betrübten Umständen der meisten Deutschen, die in dieses Land gezogen sin (de)
