Otto Bache (21 August 1839 – 28 June 1927) was a Danish Realist painter. Many of his works depict key events in Danish history.
In 1866, he received the academy's travel grant and went to Paris and later to Italy. His stay in Paris had a particularly deep impact on his work, turning it in a direction characterized by more freedom, more colour, stronger light, and broader scope. Upon his return in 1868, he married Clara Charlotte Elise Haagensen on August 18
He was named a Commander in the Order of the Dannebrog and later was awarded the Dannebrogordenens Hæderstegn.
He received early recognition as a portrait painter but he also showed great interest in painting animal motifs, gradually also turning to genre works and history painting.
In 1880 Bache became a professor, and then the director of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts between the years of 1890–1892, 1896–1899, 1905–1906 before being succeeded by Vilhelm Bissen in 1906.
He was the father of lawyer Niels Haagensen Bache.
