Erwin "Doe" Dornau (22 March 1926 – 23 September 2008) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Dornau, believed to be the first native born Queenslander in the VFL, played his early football at Kedron.
A centre half back, he represented Queensland at interstate football for the first time in 1946 and starred for them at the 1947 Hobart Carnival, finishing equal second in the Tassie Medal.
His efforts in Hobart saw him recruited to South Melbourne and he had a good debut season, gaining eight Brownlow votes. Dornau died on 23 September 2008.
