Herbert Gehrke (12 June 1910 – 18 March 1945) was a German SA commander.

He is remembered, in particular, as the organiser of Köpenick's week of bloodshed which took place in June 1933 and subsequently came to be seen as an early harbinger of the Shoah. He was implicated in the killing of Johannes Stelling.
