The Erie Express are an amateur American football minor-league team based in Erie, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2011, they are a member of the Premier Amateur Football League. In 2024, the Express played in the Tri-Point Football League (TPFL). From 2018 to 2023, the team played in the Gridiron Developmental Football League (GDFL), winning the championship in 2021. The team plays at Dollinger Field, located on the grounds of Cathedral Preparatory School.

The "Express" name reflects Erie's history as a significant hub for trains and rail transport. In 1910, GE Transportation established a locomotive assembly plant in nearby Lawrence Park. The company also designed the entire town in that area, which remains operational today. Erie also has a storied regional history of trains, especially the Erie Gauge War (1853–54).
