Otto Roberto Herrera García (born 14 March 1965) is a Guatemalan national and career criminal, best known for turning Guatemala into a corridor for U.S.-bound cocaine. The jail's warden, his deputy and 10 others were arrested for allegedly accepting bribes to facilitate his freedom. Herrera García was arrested two years later in Bogotá, Colombia.

The U.S. Department of State reported that Otto Roberto Herrera García was the leader of a drug trafficking organization responsible for bringing more than 18 metric tons of cocaine from Colombia, through Central America and Mexico, into the United States since 1998. In 2001 alone, his organization moved approximately 12 metric tons of cocaine, and may have the ability to smuggle as much as 2 tons of cocaine into the United States each month. Herrera García's trafficking organization is very violent – known to have murdered suspected informants, including one who sustained 18 gunshot wounds.
