Érasme (Didier Érasme), également appelé Érasme de Rotterdam (Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus), né dans la nuit du 27 au 28 octobre 1466, ou en 1467, ou 1469, à Rotterdam, mort le 12 juillet 1536 à Bâle, est un chanoine régulier de saint Augustin, philosophe, humaniste et théologien néerlandais, considéré comme l'une des figures majeures de la culture néerlandaise et occidentale. Il reste essentiellement connu aujourd'hui pour sa declamatio satirique Éloge de la Folie (1511) et, dans une moindre mesure, pour ses Adages (1500), anthologie de plus de quatre mille citations grecques et latines, et pour ses Colloques (1522), recueil d'essais didactiques aux thèmes variés, bien que son œuvre, autrement plus vaste et complexe, comprenne des essais et des traités sur un très grand nombre de sujets, sur les problèmes de son temps comme sur l'art, l'éducation, la religion, la guerre ou la philosophie, éclectisme propre aux préoccupations d'un auteur humaniste.
