Erie was the Iroquoian language of the Erie people, similar to Wyandot.

The names Erie and Eriez are shortened forms of Erielhonan, meaning "long tail", corresponding to the Erie being called the "Cat people" (Nation du Chat; Hodge 1910, Swanton).

At least one loanword survives from the Erie language: Chautauqua, a word of unknown translation.
