Gustavus Charles Reichhelm (1839–1905) was an American chess player and writer from Philadelphia. While he was active in competitive chess, his most significant contributions came through his work as a chess journalist. He edited chess columns for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin and the Philadelphia Times, sometimes writing under the pseudonym "Garibaldi".
