Hermann of Altach (1200 or 1201 – 31 July 1275) was a medieval historian. He received his education at the Benedictine monastery of Niederaltaich, where he afterwards made his vows and was appointed custodian of the church. In this capacity he became thoroughly acquainted with the records of the monastery. Under Abbot Ditmar (1232–42) he was sent on important missions concerning the interests of the monastery, first to the emperor in Verona, then to the Roman Curia in 1239 and again in 1240. On 27 October 1242, he was elected Abbot of Niederaltaich. During his abbacy of thirty-one years the monastic discipline and the finances of the monastery were reportedly greatly improved. On 12 March 1273, he resigned his office on account of ill-health and old age, and spent the remaining two years of his life in retirement at his monastery.
