Erlach (French: Cerlier) is a small town, a political municipality in the Seeland administrative district of the canton of Bern in Switzerland and was the capital of the administrative district of the same name until the end of 2009. The small town of Erlach is located on the shores of Lake Biel at 433 m above sea level. The Jolimont, a 603 m high hill from which you can see Lake Biel, is located in the municipality.

St. Peter's Island (actually a peninsula) can be reached from Erlach on foot and by bike.
