Otto Hermans (born 29 March 1950) is a Dutch politician and a member of the Senate for JA21.

Hermans studied dentistry at the Catholic University of Nijmegen and worked as a dentist for over thirty years. He was initially appointed as a temporary Senator in 2019 to take over from Nicki Pouw-Verweij who was on maternity leave.[1][2]

After Brexit, Hermans was preferred over Robert Baljeu (Group Otten) due to preferential votes cast in the Senate elections 2019 for him and Hugo Berkhout, and as a result of which he returned to the Senate as a full member on 18 February 2020.[3] Hermans was originally a member of the Forum for Democracy but joined JA21 along with other former FvD Senators in 2020.[4]
