Erastvere (, ) is a village in Kanepi Parish, Põlva County in southeastern Estonia. It is located just southeast of Kanepi, the centre of the municipality, and is passed by the Tallinn–Tartu–Võru–Luhamaa road (E263). As of the 2011 census, the village's population was 286.

The village centre is next to 16.3 ha Lake Erastvere, which is the source of the Ahja River. The Võhandu River also passes Erastvere on its western side. Erastvere is the site of the former Erastvere (Errestfer) knight manor. The main building has not survived, and a newer nursery home building is located on the site.
