Anton Wilhelm Ertl (10 September 1654, Munich – c.1715) was a German lawyer and geographer.

He studied law at Ingolstadt, and from around 1680, worked as a lawyer in the Munich court. He also served as a judge in the jurisdictions of various monasteries in Bavaria (from 1682). In 1705 he received the title of imperial counsellor and was a lawyer of the imperial equestrian order in Suebia.[1]

  • Austriana Regina Arabiae (1688): A novel Ertl dedicated to Prince Joseph I (1678–1711).[2]
  • Chur-bayerischer Atlas (1687): An atlas with descriptions of Bavarian places of interest of which a short story accompanies engravings of the pertinent locations (engravings by Johann Ulrich Kraus).
  • Relationes Curiosae Bavaricae (1685): A collection of anecdotes and character portrayals derived from Bavarian history.[3][1]
