Ockert Cilliers (born 21 April 1981) is a South African 400 m hurdler. Born in Vanderbijlpark, Cilliers now lives in Potchefstroom (150 km west of Johannesburg). He is 1.70 m tall and weighs 74 kg.
His athletics career started in 1996 at school, where he also played rugby union. The rugby coach forced all players to take part in athletics as well. Cilliers chose 200m and 300m hurdles, and hurdling quickly became his primary interest.
He is a member of the Fenerbahçe S.K. athletics club in Turkey.[1][2]
His current coach is Dr. Ria van den Berg.
