Emil Wolff (1802–1879) was a 19th-century German sculptor and occasional artist in oil paints.

He was born in Berlin on 2 March 1802. From 1815 he studied at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin. He won a scholarship to study in Rome in 1822 under Bertel Thorwaldsen.

In 1854 King Friedrich Wilhelm IV purchased "Najade" for erection at Sanssouci. This was removed in 1985 due to erosion but replaced with a replica in 2017.

In 1865 he exhibited at the Dublin International Exhibition.

He died in Rome on 29 September 1879.
