Hermann Suchier (11 December 1848, in Carlshafen – 3 July 1914, in Halle an der Saale) was a German Romance philologist of Huguenot ancestry. He is known for his studies on the history of the French language and the literary history of the Middle Ages.
He studied philology and linguistics at the universities of Marburg and Leipzig, qualifying as a lecturer of modern languages at Marburg in 1873. Soon afterwards, he became an associate professor at the University of Zürich, followed by a full professorship at Münster Academy in 1875. In 1876 he was appointed chair of Romance philology at the University of Halle, where in 1901/02 he served as academic rector. In 1879 he founded the journal Bibliotheca normannica.
