Jens Werrmann (born May 29, 1985 in Bad Kreuznach ) is a former German athlete who specialized in the 110-meter hurdles .

He reached fourth place at the 2004 Junior World Championships in Grosseto. In 2006 and 2007 Werrmann was German Junior Champion and at the U23 European Championships in 2007 in Debrecen, he finished fourth.

In the adult division, Werrmann was fifth at the German Championships in 2005 and second in 2006. He was nominated for the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg, where he increased his best time to 13.60 seconds and finished sixth in the final. In 2008 he had to have an operation on the intervertebral disc and groin. The following year he met the standard for the World Championships in Berlin, but as fourth in the German Championships he was only a substitute runner. In September he improved his fastest time to 13.51 seconds at the DecaNation in Paris.

In 2010, Werrmann came third at the German Indoor Championships. In the open air he set his personal best and fulfilled the norm for the European Championships in Barcelona. Then, however, he tore his ligament and suffered repeated injuries and illnesses in the years that followed.
