SS Sturmbannführer Emil Beier was a German Nazi politician and Mayor of Ostrava during the Occupation 1940–1945. He was born in 1893. He was put into the place of Josef Hinner, who was deposed for being too "soft" to Czech officials.

He also established the mining museum and expanded road comunications. He has also written a book about Ostrava "Mährish Ostrau", published by the SS in 1942 in Prague. After the liberation, he was briefly replaced by Josef Lampa. He died in 1985.
