Herman Marion "Hermie" Sadler III (born April 24, 1969) is an American professional driver, announcer, and professional wrestling promoter from Emporia, Virginia. He is currently a veteran NASCAR driver with occasional appearances for the Virginia Lottery at Martinsville Speedway, Richmond International Raceway, and Bristol Motor Speedway and a pit reporter for Fox Sports 1 for the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series.

Sadler began racing in go-karts alongside younger brother Elliott in their hometown of Emporia. He then began running late models in Virginia. In 1992, Sadler made his debut in the NASCAR Busch Series at Orange County Speedway. He started 19th but finished 25th after wrecking his No. 32 Oldsmobile. He ran four more races that season, with a best finish of 20th, at Dover International Speedway. In 1993, Sadler was named NASCAR XFINITY SERIES Rookie of the Year.

Sadler began running the Busch Series full-time in 1993. Driving the No. 25 Shell Oil-Virginia is for Lovers Oldsmobile for Don Beverly, Sadler picked a win at Orange County, finished tenth in points, and was named rookie of the year. He followed that up with another win and a fifth-place points finish the next season. After that season ended, Sadler teamed with his father, Herman, to run the No. 1 Chevrolet sponsored by DeWalt Tools. Although he did not win, Sadler had six top-ten finishes and a thirteenth-place finish. He won the pole at the 1996 Milwaukee Mile race, but Sadler continued to drop and finished 15th place in points. He also made his debut in the Winston Cup Series, starting 30th and finishing 37th at the Miller 400 in the No. 26 Chevrolet owned by William Slate.
