Hermann Pálsson (1921 - 2002) was an Icelandic language scholar.

He translated a number of Old Icelandic works of literature into English. Hermann was particularly noted for his penchant to link Old Icelandic works with mediaeval European learning, especially works in Latin. His works on the sagas and Eddaic poems are usually in that vein.
