Erie is a small unincorporated community in Pennington County, Minnesota, United States.[1] The community had local businesses until the late 20th century with the closing of its last store, Sjulstad Store.

A post office called Erie was established in 1905, and remained in operation until 1938.[2] The community was named after Erie, Pennsylvania.[3]
