Hermann Reschny (15 June 1898 – 7 January 1971) was an Austrian Nazi politician and head of the Austrian Sturmabteilung (SA) who rose to the rank of SA-Obergruppenführer. A member of the state and federal parliaments in Austria, he fled to Nazi Germany after Austria outlawed the Nazis. There, he commanded the expatriate Austrian Legion and served as a member of the German Reichstag from 1936 to 1938. He fought in the German Army during the Second World War and, after Germany's defeat, he was tried for treason in Austria and sentenced to sixteen years' imprisonment.
