Erichem is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Buren, and lies about 5 km west of Tiel.

It was first mentioned in 850 as Ermkina, and means "settlement of the people of Ero or Eric (person)". The village developed along a former stream as a stretched out esdorp. The St. Joris Church has a 14th-century tower with a 13th-century base. The church dates from around 1500. In 1840, it was home to 438 people.
