Hans Pochon (1900–1977) was a Swiss entomologist and an authority on Buprestidae beetles.

From 1931 he worked at the Musee d'histoire naturelle in Fribourg and restructured its entomological collections. As the museum did not have a collection of local Coleoptera, he donated his own collection.[1] During his career he gathered some 16 000 specimens of Buprestidae, many of species new to science.[2]
