Ervine Metzl (1899–1963) was an American graphic artist and illustrator best known for his posters and postage stamp designs.

As a young man, he attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and showed an interest in poster design.

"[3] The cover of Fortune magazine featured Metzl's depictions of an astronomical observatory and a comet (July 1932)[4] and a window washer (November 1932).

[9] It was in Metzl's studio that Bemelmans is said to have met his future wife, Madeleine "Mimi" Freund, a model.

One of his best known stamp designs was a commemorative stamp for the first International Geophysical Year in 1957-1958, in which he "endeavored to picture a man’s wonder at the unknown together with his determination to understand it and his need for spiritual inspiration to further his knowledge" by pairing the outstretched arms from Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam with a depiction of a solar flare.
