Erika Scheimer (pronounced SHY-mer) is an occasional voice-actress in the cartoons of the defunct Filmation animation-studio. She is the daughter of Lou Scheimer, who was an integral member of Filmation and a voice actor in his own right, and younger sister of Lane Scheimer, who appeared in the intro of every episode of The Ghost Busters as The Ghost.

She is best recognized for her work on the original He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon, where she provided additional female voices and occasional voice-acting for young boys (such as Prince Adam's cousin). She is often mistaken for Jay Scheimer (Lou's wife and her mother) as the second voice for Queen Marlena, originally voiced by Linda Gary.

Erika Scheimer also provided many voices for the spin-off series, She-Ra, Princess of Power including Frosta, Queen Angella, Imp, Perfuma, Peek-A-Blue, Loo-Kee and Flutterina.
