Erich Schmiedicke (13 May 1887 – date of death unknown) was a German Nazi Party official and politician.

From April 1917 to August 1918 he served in a staff position in the high command of the German naval forces in Turkey.

[2] In August 1922, Schmiedicke joined the Nazi Party (NSDAP) and its paramilitary branch, the Sturmabteilung (SA).

[3] Consequently, on 28 February 1926, Schlange was placed on leave due to his inability to heal the divisions within the local Party and Schmiedicke was left in charge as Acting Gauleiter.

[2] Schlange officially resigned on 20 June 1926 and Schmiedicke continued to lead the Gau; however, he was also unable to bring unity to the squabbling factions.

Adolf Hitler determined that an outside leader was needed to restore order and offered the position to Joseph Goebbels.

Additionally, on 15 August 1933, he was made Nazi Party Kreisleiter (County Leader) for the Guben region.
