Erwin Stein (10 June 1935 – 26 July 2024) was a German professional footballer who played as a forward.
At 24 years old, he was capped by Bundestrainer Sepp Herberger and his assistant Georg Gawliczek for the German amateur national team against the Netherlands on 15 April 1959 in Enschede.
Due to the final round of the German championship starting on 16 May, national team manager Herberger, picked the Hessian amateur player for the friendly match against Poland in Hamburg.
With Feigenspan moving to TSV 1860 Munich, the Eintracht board negotiated intensely with the Griesheim 02 striker.
Stein signed for the Riederwald club for the 1959–60 season and was therefore not eligible for the German amateur national team.
He bid farewell as an Eintracht active player on 4 September 1965 at Hannover 96, playing with Jürgen Grabowski and Wolfgang Solz.
