Werner Lorenz (October 2, 1891 – March 13, 1974) was an SS functionary during the Nazi era.
He was head of the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle (VOMI) (Main Office for Ethnic Germans), an organization charged with resettling ethnic Germans in the "German Reich" from other parts of Europe, as well as colonising the occupied lands during World War II.
After the war, Lorenz was sentenced to prison for crimes against humanity in 1948.
