Otto Strack (died 1935) was an architect in the United States. Several buildings he designed are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Strack was born in Germany, where he learned carpentry, masonry and blacksmithing. Then he studied architecture at the Berlin and Vienna polytechnical schools. During this time, he also designed buildings for other German industrial barons in Milwaukee, many of them in styles reminiscent of their homeland. Strack moved to New York around the turn of the century, but at his death one of his pupils observed, "much of the old-world charm of many older Milwaukee buildings was due to Strack's influence."
