Herbert Robert Gerhard Fust (1 June 1899 – 11 November 1974) was a German agricultural estate manager who belonged to the Nazi Party and its paramilitary unit, the Sturmabteilung (SA). He rose to the rank of SA-Obergruppenführer and was the commander of all SA forces in Hamburg for several years under Nazi Germany. He was also a Nazi politician, serving in the Hamburg State Council, the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and the national Reichstag. Troops under his command were actively involved in the Kristallnacht pogrom against the Jews in November 1938 and destroyed dozens of synagogues. Following the fall of the Nazi regime, he underwent denazification procedures and was brought up on charges by a German court in 1952 but was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
