The Erkelshöhe (historically: Mertel) is a 517 m above sea level. NHN high mountain in the Spessart in the Bavarian district of Aschaffenburg and in the Hessian Main-Kinzig district in Germany.

The Erkelshöhe lies between the towns of Wiesen and Flörsbach. The state border runs across the summit between the municipality of Flörsbachtal (Hesse) and the unincorporated area of Wiesener Forst (Bavaria). In the southeast, the Erkelshöhe goes flat to the Sauberg (454 m). Both mountains belong to the Sailhöhe ridge stretching towards Wiesthal. West of the summit, about a kilometer away, is the village of Wiesen im Aubachtal; on the south-eastern slopes is the town of Mosborn on the upper reaches of the Laubersbach. North of the mountain are the Wiesbüttsee and the Wiesbüttmoor. The Franconian Marienweg leads over the Erkelshöhe.
