Otto Wolff von Amerongen (6 August 1918 – 8 March 2007) was an influential German businessman, who chaired Otto Wolff AG, one of the largest trading groups in West Germany. His father was industrialist Otto Wolff, his mother Elsa von Amerongen. On his father's death he became a board member and co-proprietor of his father's business, the Otto-Wolff-Konzern.
