Erika Julia Hedwig Mann ( November 9, 1905 - August 27, 1969) was the daughter of novelist Thomas Mann. Known for her anti- Fascist stance, she became a playwright and author.

Erika Mann was married to the German actor Gustaf Gründgens.

Erika was the last member of the Mann family to leave Germany after the Fascist regime rose to power. She saved many of Thomas Mann's papers from their Munich home when she escaped to England. She married the British author W. H. Auden in order to be able to stay in England.
