Erik Weatherhat (Swedish: Erik Väderhatt) was a mythical king of Sweden.

According to the Swedish Chronicle, the cognomen Weatherhat refers to the accommodating wind he enjoyed as pillaged the Baltic Sea region.

His place in the Swedish line of kings is mysterious and it varies by the source— He is commonly considered to be Erik Emundsson or, according to Gesta Danorum, one of Ragnar Lodbrok's sons.
