Herman Theodore Schneebeli (born July 7, 1907 – died May 6, 1982) was a Republican representative serving Pennsylvania in the U.S. House of Representatives.
He entered the world in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the son of Swiss immigrants Alfred Schneebeli and Barbara (née Schneider). Schneebeli completed his secondary education at Mercersburg Academy in 1926, earned a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College in 1930, and obtained an MBA from the Tuck School of Business in 1931. Professionally, he was engaged as a commission distributor for Gulf Oil Corporation and operated an automobile dealership based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. During World War II, from 1942 until 1946, he served as a captain within the United States Army Ordnance Department.
Schneebeli was elected to the 86th United States Congress through a special election held to replace Representative Alvin Bush, who had passed away. Subsequently, he secured reelection for eight consecutive terms. He chose not to pursue another term in the 1976 election.
In recognition of his contributions, the Herman T. Schneebeli Earth Science Center at the Pennsylvania College of Technology in Montgomery, Pennsylvania, along with the Herman T. Schneebeli Federal Building located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, bear his name.
