埃里希·冯·曼施坦因（德语：Erich von Manstein，1887年11月24日－1973年6月10日），是一名终身从军的职业军人，他在第二次世界大战中脱颖而出，成为纳粹德国国防军中最负盛名的指挥官之一。尽管他从未成为纳粹党的一员，他却被授予了陆军元帅（Generalfeldmarschall）的军衔。冯·曼施坦因的构想最终成为制订征服法国的“镰刀收割”（Sichelschnitt）计划的依据。在东线，他先后指挥了位于克里米亚和列宁格勒的军队，并随后担任南方集团军的司令官。在此岗位上，曼施坦因取得了现代战争史上最伟大的胜利，面对于人数和装备都占据优势的苏联，他成功地阻止了红军自斯大林格勒胜利之后的攻势，并成功地发动反击，夺取了哈尔科夫。

Fritz Erich Georg Eduard von Lewinski, known as Erich von Manstein (24 November 1887 – 9 June 1973), was a German commander of the Wehrmacht, Nazi Germany's armed forces during the Second World War. He attained the rank of field marshal.

Born into an aristocratic Prussian family with a long history of military service, Manstein joined the army at a young age and saw service on several fronts during the First World War (1914–18). He rose to the rank of captain by the end of the war and was active in the inter-war period helping Germany rebuild her armed forces. In September 1939, during the invasion of Poland at the outbreak of the Second World War, he was serving as Chief of Staff to Gerd von Rundstedt's Army Group South. Adolf Hitler chose Manstein's strategy for the invasion of France of May 1940, a plan later refined by Franz Halder and other members of the OKH. Anticipating a firm Allied reaction should the main thrust of the invasion take place through the Netherlands, Manstein devised an innovative tactic—later known as the Sichelschnitt ("sickle cut")—that called for an attack through the woods of the Ardennes and a rapid drive to the English Channel, thus cutting off the French and Allied armies in Belgium and Flanders. Attaining the rank of general at the end of the campaign, he was active in the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 and the Siege of Sevastopol (1941–1942), and was promoted to field marshal on 1 July 1942. He also participated in the Siege of Leningrad.
