Marais Erasmus, (born 27 February 1964), is a current South African cricket umpire from Cape Province and member of the ICC Elite Umpire Panel.

Erasmus' first ODI match was between Kenya and Canada at Nairobi on 18 October 2007 and his first T20I match was between South Africa and Australia at Johannesburg on 24 February 2006. His first Test match was between Bangladesh and India from 17-21 January 2010. He played for the Boland cricket team at first-class level.

Marais Erasmus was appointed to the ICC International Panel of Umpires in 2008 and was quickly promoted to the ICC Elite Umpire Panel in 2010.

While Erasmus had a good start to his Umpiring career, he came under severe pressure during the India England Test Series (July / Aug 2011) where he gave a series of bad decisions in the 2nd Test match played at Trent Bridge. Amongst the cricketers, he is referred to as a 'not-out' umpire, one who needs a lot of convincing before he declares someone out 'LBW'.
