(8 March 1896 – 19 February 1970)[1] was a Czech cinematographer long resident in the United Kingdom.

He worked on more than 250 films, including Richard III (1955), The Ladykillers (1955) and Peeping Tom (1960).

Together with Karel Lamač, Anny Ondra and Václav Wasserman, he made many movies both for domestic and international audience.

In an interview for the extra materials on the Blu-ray Disk version of The Ipcress File, Michael Caine recollects how Otto Heller told the story of leaving Nazi Germany in 1939.

His camera crew were all Germans and they kept telling him to leave but he did not believe he needed to go and he would refuse, saying they were having a great time doing movies.
