Dominique Erra was an Italian artist primarily known for portraiture. 

Born in Venice, where he presumably trained, Erra moved to France sometime prior to 1806, when his son was born in Meurthe-et-Moselle. For a period during the 1810s, he lived in Baden, Germany, working predominantly as a portraitist. He died in Lyon in 1830.
