Erica Brausen (31 January 1908 – 16 December 1992), was an art dealer and gallerist who established the Hanover Gallery in London in 1948.

[4] In London, Brausen began organising small art exhibitions, often in artist studios, but as a German national she encountered many difficulties and restrictions.

A gay artist friend married her which allowed her to work legally and she, later, obtained a job at The Redfern Gallery.

[6] Brausen had bought a number of Francis Bacon early works, including Painting (1946), and he held his first one-man show at the Hanover in November 1947.

[2] Brausen became Alberto Giacometti's principal dealer in London, selling more than seventy of his works over the lifetime of the Gallery.
