Hermann Boeschenstein (May 1, 1900 – September 21, 1982) was a Swiss-Canadian scholar of German studies and author of several novels. After his youth in Stein am Rhein and Schaffhausen, he studied in Germany and obtained a PhD in philosophy in 1926. He travelled in Europe and Canada, settling in Toronto in 1928, where he taught German and German literature at the University of Toronto from 1930 to 1968. From 1943 to 1946, he took a leave of absence to serve as Director for Canada of the War Prisoner's Aid of the YMCA, travelling to the Canadian internment camps for German prisoners of war and overseeing work to help them re-integrate into postwar society. In 1956, Boeschenstein became the Head of the German department at Toronto.
