Terry Brian "The Rock" Hermansson is a former New Zealand rugby league player. An international representative prop forward, he played club football in England, Australia and New Zealand.

Hermansson was a Schoolboy Kiwi in 1982 and made the Junior Kiwis in 1985.

Nicknamed "The Rock" he spent his early years playing for the Canterbury sides of the 1990s before moving overseas to play professionally, first for Doncaster in England and then for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the then NSWRL Premiership. At the height of the Super League war he moved to the Sydney City Roosters and played alongside fellow Kiwi prop Jason Lowrie. He returned to the Rabbitohs in 1998 before signing for the Adelaide Rams for the 1999 season.

When the Rams were closed down before the season he signed a two-year contract with the Auckland Warriors, returning home to play in front of the New Zealand fans. In 1999 he was Clubman of the Year Award.

Hermansson played for the New Zealand Kiwis on four occasions between 1994 and 1999, with the Superleague war blocking him from making more appearances. During the war he played for an Australian Rugby League "Rest of the World" side that took on the Australian Kangaroos.

In 2000 he represented the Aotearoa Māori at the 2000 Rugby League World Cup. He retired in 2000 after the World Cup.
