Heinrich Bernhard Friedrich Alexander Georg Hax (27 December 1870 – 1 August 1952) was a German water polo player. He competed in the men's tournament at the 1900 Summer Olympics.[1] Hax was also the chairman and president of the Deutscher Schwimm-Verband, from 1894 to 1903, and 1930 to 1936 respectively.[2]

In his Olympic career Hax was also the flagbearer of the 1906 German team and then placed fifth with the German gymnastic team in the all-around. His son, Heinz Hax, took part in 3 Olympic Games (1928, 1932, 1936), competing in modern pentathlon and shooting.[3]
