Otho Orde Dangar (1 February 1842 – 20 November 1923) was an Australian politician.

He was born at Hastings River to storekeeper William Snowdon Dangar and Susan Freethey. On 15 October 1868 he married Elizabeth Garvin at Port Macquarie; they would have five children. He worked as a storekeeper and auctioneer. In 1889 Dangar was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Protectionist member for Macleay. He was forced to resign in 1893 due to financial difficulties, and he was defeated in the subsequent by-election. He made two more runs for parliament in 1894 and 1901 without success. Dangar died at Balmain in 1923.
