Jean Herman Voeller (1630–1710) was a government official in the Spanish Netherlands who served as secretary of state for German affairs from 1675 to 1710.
Life Voeller was born in Brussels and was baptised on 26 November 1630 in the Chapel Church there. He followed his father, Leonard Voeller, in government service.

After the Battle of Ramillies, Voeller gave his support to the Grand Alliance. He died in Brussels on 3 May 1710 and was buried in the family vault in the Chapel Church.
