Ohlthaver & List Group (short O&L or Ohlthaver & List) is the largest private Namibian company group. It has its headquarters in Windhoek's central business district.

The company was founded in 1919 by Carl List and Herman Ohlthaver. It was headquartered near the post office. In 1929 a bigger building was bought on the corner of Peter Müller (today Fidel Castro Street) and Kaiserstraße (today Independence Avenue). This building was soon named Carl List Haus. It is today known as the Alexander Forbes House and still the headquarters of the company group.

The company is in its third generation, and owner of Wernhil Park Mall facilities. It is the largest private-sector employer in the country and has over 5,000 employees.
