Ottokar Weise (* before 1890 , † after 1900 ) was a German regatta sailor .

At the Olympic Games in 1900 , Weise joined Paul Wiesner , Georg Naue and Heinrich Peters in the open class on May 20, the Berliners took second place with their Cinderella, behind a British crew with the Scotia . On May 24th, Weise was to compete with the same cast in the first competition in the boat class up to a weight of one ton. However, since he was battered, he was represented by Arthur Bloomfeld . The crew won the regatta, but the reweighing revealed that the boat was too heavy at 1.041 t, which is why it was disqualified and the Scotia was declared the victorious boat. At the next race in the next higher boat class up to 1.5 t, Weise was back and the Cschenbrödel crew became Olympic champion in front of the Swiss yacht Lérina .
