SS Gruppenführer Dr Otto Rasch (7 December 1891 - 1 November 1948) was a high-ranking Nazi official in the occupied Eastern territories, commanding Einsatzgruppe C (northern and central Ukraine) until October 1941.

With two university doctorates, Rasch was known as "Dr Dr Rasch", to distinguish him from other high-ranking SS officials with advanced academic records.

Rasch was indicted at the Einsatzgruppen trial in 1948 but died later that year.
