Herbert Tenzer (November 1, 1905 in New York City–March 24 1993) was an American Democratic Party politician, who served two terms of office in the United States House of Representatives.

Tenzer attended public schools, graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1923 and the New York University School of Law in 1927. He was admitted to the bar in 1929 and commenced the practice of law in the same year. On January 1, 1937, he organized and became senior partner in a law firm in New York City.

He was elected as a Democrat to the Eighty-ninth and Ninetieth Congresses, serving from January 3, 1965-January 3, 1969, where he represented New York's 5th congressional district. Tenzer was a resident of Lawrence, on Long Island, New York, until his death there on March 24 1993.

Tenzer was a founder of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University. He was a member of the Board of Trustees (and later Chairman) when the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law was founded, and was instrumental in the creation of the school.
