Erich Kunz (20 May 1909 in Vienna – 8 September 1995 in Vienna) was an Austrian operatic light baritone, particularly associated with the roles of Papageno and Beckmesser. He studied in Vienna with Lierhammer and Duhan, and made his stage debut in Opava, as Osmin, in 1933. He then sang in Plauen (1936–37), Breslau (1937–41). He made guest appearances at the Paris Opéra, and sang at the Metropolitan Opera in New York (1952–54). An outstanding singing-actor with a superb sense of comedy, he also enjoyed great success in operetta.
