Solomon Etting (28 July 1764 – 6 August 1847) was a Jewish merchant[1] and politician in Baltimore, Maryland.

In 1797, Etting and his father-in-law Bernard Gratz petitioned to "be placed upon the same footing with other good citizens"[4] but were unsuccessful then, as well as in 1802 and 1824.

[6] Etting followed another Jewish immigrant, Jacob Henry, in the endeavor to attain public office.
