Herman Tucker (September 2, 1928 – March 14, 2001) was an American truck driver and heavy equipment operator. He was allegedly linked to the murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner who were murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in June 1964. The bodies of the civil rights workers were found buried in an earthen dam on Olen Burrage's farm that Tucker had helped to construct.
