Erki Nool (born June 25, 1970 in Võru, Estonia) is an Estonian decathlete and politician.

He is a winner of the gold medal for Decathlon in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Although Nool did not place first in any individual event, his total score was the highest. Nool won the title after the competition referee decided to over-rule a discus judge who had red-flagged his last and only valid attempt due to alleged step-out. The reinstatement of his 43.66-metre third throw sparked unsuccessful counter-protests from other teams. Nool took gold ahead of the Czech Roman Šebrle and American Chris Huffins.

He was elected to the Estonian Parliament, Riigikogu, on 4th March 2007, representing the Union of Pro Patria and Res Publica party[1].
