Erik Moltke (4 April 1901 – 19 October 1984) was a Danish runologist, writer, and editor. Through his leadership, the Runologist Section of the National Museum of Denmark became a world centre for the scientific study of runology.[1]

In 1942, Moltke and Lis Jacobsen published the standard edition of Danish inscriptions.[1] Moltke also held the position of Chief Editor of the National Museum of Denmark's series of volumes on Denmark's churches until his wife Elna Møller assumed the position in 1970.[1][2]
