Ann-Marie Hermans is an Australian politician and a member of the Liberal Party. She has served as a member of the Victorian Legislative Council, representing the South-Eastern Metropolitan Region since November 2022, and the Shadow Assistant Minister for Education in the Battin Shadow Ministry.
After her election to the Legislative Council, she was appointed as the Shadow Minister for Emergency Services, and Shadow Minister for WorkCover and the TAC, in the Pesutto shadow cabinet. On 31 August 2023, she became the Shadow Cabinet Secretary, a role she held until 7 January 2025, at which point she became the Shadow Assistant Minister for Education. Before joining the Liberals, she ran for Family First at the 2006 Victorian state election.
Hermans was a teacher at Presbyterian Ladies' College prior to entering politics.
Hermans is considered part of the "religious right" faction of the Victorian Liberal Party. Notably, in 2023, she voted against the successful motion to expel fellow conservative Liberal Moira Deeming from the Liberal parliamentary party.
