Reto Elias Grütter, born 17 July 1984, is a Swiss sidecarcross passenger who won the Sidecarcross World Championship in 2007 and 2008. He entered the world championship in 2003 at nineteen as passenger for fellow Swiss rider Ueli Müller, and the pair raced together until 2006, their best overall result being fifteenth in 2005. After that season he replaced Sven Verbrugge as passenger for Daniël Willemsen, who had just won his fifth world title, and the new combination dominated 2007 by winning 15 of 16 races.

The pair retained the title in 2008 by a 97 point margin, and Grütter also holds Belgian and Dutch titles from 2007 and Swiss national titles from 2002 and 2009.
