August Schmierer (April 28, 1870 – ?) was a German rugby union player who competed in the 1900 Summer Olympics.
He was a member of the German rugby union team, which won the silver medal. Germany was represented at the tournament mainly by the FC 1880 Frankfurt rather than an official national team.[1] Schmierer had left Frankfurt in 1897 and was in 1900 already chairman of the Cannstatter Fußball-Club. But he was invited to the olympic tournament by his former club.[2]
