Karl Bömer (7 September 1900 – 22 August 1942) was a German ministerial director and the head of the Foreign Department for Journalism in the Ministry of Propaganda.

As a Nazi favorite, Bömer replaced Emil Dovifat at the German University of Politics while continuing to work as a press advisor for Alfred Rosenberg.

As Bömer assumed control of the foreign section, Alfred-Ingemar Berndt, the former department head, transitioned to overseeing domestic matters.

However, by the onset of 1938/39, Hans Fritzsche, a radio journalist, had replaced Alfred-Ingemar Berndt, who then assumed leadership of the ministry's literature department.

Following the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Bömer faced trial and condemnation by a People's Court, losing all titles and receiving a prison sentence.
