Hans-Otto Borgmann (20 October 1901, in Hanover-Linden – 26 July 1977, in Berlin, West Germany) was a German film music composer during the Third Reich. He joined UFA as a silent film music conductor in 1928, and became head composer by 1931. A melody he had composed for a documentary on Svalbard island and had become well known was taken up by Hitler Youth leader Baldur von Schirach who wrote new lyrics as "Our flag flutters before us", becoming one of the Hitler Youth's anthems. In 1938 he composed a Großdeutsche Hymne for Schirach which coincided with the Anschluss of Austria.
