Herman Tucker (September 2, 1928 – March 14, 2001) was an American truck driver and heavy equipment operator from Neshoba County, Mississippi who was implicated in the murder of three civil rights workers in June 1964.

Prosecutors alleged that Turner used a bulldozer to bury the bodies of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner in an earthen dam on Olen Burrage's farm.

At the time of the murders, Tucker lived with his wife in the Hope community a few miles west of Philadelphia.

[1] In the afternoon of June 21, 1964, Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner arrived at Longdale, Mississippi to inspect a burned-out church.

During the investigation it emerged that members of the local White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Neshoba County Sheriff's Office, and the Philadelphia Police Department were involved in the incident.

Tucker was officially arrested at 9:02 a.m., December 4, 1964, and transported to the Naval Auxiliary Air Station, Meridian, Mississippi where he was taken to the Bachelor Officers Quarters on the base where he was interviewed, fingerprinted and photographed.
