Adolph Biermann (November 19, 1842 – January 5, 1914) was an American farmer and politician.

Born in Christiana, Norway, Biermann emigrated to the United States in 1862. He first settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and served in the 24th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment until 1865. In 1866, he moved to Rochester, Minnesota, work as a bookkeeper, and settled on a farm. In 1874, Biermann was elected Auditor of Olmsted County, Minnesota. Biermann ran for Governor of Minnesota, Minnesota Secretary of State, and the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat losing the elections. In 1885, President Grover Cleveland appointed Biermann the United States Collector of Internal Revenue for Minnesota. From 1891 to 1896, Biermann served as Minnesota State Auditor. He died in Rochester, Minnesota of a stroke.[1][2]
