Olimpio Otero Vergés[a] (1845 – 7 September 1911) was a merchant,[3] attorney,[4] composer, musical editor, and a civic leader in Ponce, Puerto Rico.

His efforts made possible the circulation and distribution of music from the most important composers of his time, such as Manuel Gregorio Tavarez and Juan Morel Campos.

[6][7] As a civic leader, Otero Verges led the Agricultural and Industrial Tobacco Exposition held in Ponce in 1883, just a year after the successful 1882 Exposition Fair that was held in the same city at Plaza Las Delicias in the building now called Parque de Bombas.

[8] In October, 1887, Otero led a three-member commission that organized an expedition to Madrid, Spain, for Julio Vizcarrondo and Juan Bautista Arrillaga Roque to denounce the injustices perpetrated by Spanish governor General Romualdo Palacio González.

A prominent local civic and community leader, Otero was also a member of the organizing board that made possible the 1883 Ponce Fair.
