Ernst Ludwig Ehrlich (March 27, 1921 – October 21, 2007) was a Swiss Jewish religious philosopher.

Ehrlich fled Nazi Germany for Switzerland in June 1943, using a false passport. From 1961 to 1994 he was European director of the Jewish organisation B'nai B'rith.

He was an adviser to German Cardinal Augustin Bea at the Second Vatican Council in preparing "Nostra aetate", a key document on Roman Catholic-Jewish relations.[1]

He died at his home in Riehen, a suburb of Basel.[1]
