Erwin Richard Fues ( born January 17, 1893 in Stuttgart, † 17 January, 1970 Freudenstadt ) was a German theoretical physicist.

In 1919 he received his doctorate with the work of comparison between the radio spectra of the alkaline earths and the arc spectra of the alkalis with Arnold Sommerfeld at the Ludwig- Maximilians- University of Munich.

In 1922 he became an assistant in 1924 Privatdozenz of theoretical physics at the Technical University of Stuttgart, where he in 1927 received a teaching assignment for atomic theory. In 1928 he moved to the Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe.

Fues was from 1929 to 1934 full professor at the Technical University of Hanover, 1934 to 1943 at the University of Wroclaw and the Technical University of Wroclaw and then to 1947 at the Technical University of Vienna.

In 1947, he was together with Ulrich Dehlinger ( 1901-1983 ) Director of the Institute for Theoretical and Applied Physics at the University of Stuttgart. The Institute had two chairs and was created by transformation of the Department of Technical Physics, the Paul Peter Ewald held. Dehlinger was as Ewald's successor as Professor of Theoretical Physics. In the second, newly founded chair came Fues. In 1960, Hermann Haken as the successor to the chair of Fues.
