Erna Schilling (1884 – 2 October 1945) was a German nightclub dancer and artist's model.

When she was eighteen, she left home with her elder sister Gerda; the two became dancers in Berlin nightclubs.

Schilling was also a model used in paintings by Erich Heckel and Otto Mueller.

She made decorations for Kirchner's studio and gave dance performances there.

She later looked after the artist's business after he suffered a mental breakdown in 1915.
