Hermann Mejía (born 1973) is a Venezuelan–American painter and sculptor known for his work for Mad magazine.

He started collecting comics at age 13 and received his first artist's commission at 15, painting promotional graffiti for musical acts in Caracas.

After graduating, he started his career in fine arts with numerous exhibitions in his native Venezuela, both collective and solo.

Growing recognition as a vanguard artist landed him a commission to design a series of Venezuelan postage stamps commemorating Pope John Paul II in 1996.
