Erling Westher (March 12, 1903 – July 3, 1986) was a Norwegian pianist and educator. Westher debuted with the Oslo Philharmonic on November 10th, 1927 with Christian Sinding's Konsert for klaver og orkester i D♭-Dur (Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in D♭ major). He taught at Nils Larsen's Piano Academy from 1924 to 1937. Westher took over the artistic leadership of the academy after Larsen's death in 1937, and he held that position until he established his own piano institute in 1948. Westher composed the song "Slottsvalsen" (Castle Waltz), which was recorded and was popular in the 1930s.
