Erik Waller (1875–1955) was a Swedish surgeon and book collector.
Waller collected some 20,000 important books on science and medicine, including 150 incunabula and other early editions. In his last will and testament he left the whole collection to Uppsala University and its library. A catalogue of the collection was with the greatest competence and care compiled by Hans Sallander and published in two volumes, Uppsala 1955. It includes some fifty plates, reproducing selected interesting items from the collection. Waller's collection of medals relating to the history of medicine is housed by the Uppsala University Coin Cabinet.
