Emanuel Herrera (Spanish pronunciation: [emaˈnwel eˈreɾa], born 13 April 1987) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Chilean Primera División side Ñublense as a striker.

He played in the youth ranks of Rosario Central for six years, but never debuted with the first team. He was then loaned to Chacarita Juniors, Sportivo Italiano and Patronato in the Argentine second division. A lack of options in his country led him to look for opportunities in Chile, where he accepted the offer of Deportes Concepción. In the Chilean team, he consolidated himself as a starter and, after a great 2011 season where he scored 29 goals in 39 matches, he was signed by Unión Española. Despite being there for only half a season, he managed to be the 2012 Torneo Apertura top scorer and to score five times in the 2012 Copa Libertadores. This caught the interest of Montpellier, which paid $3.5 million for him. He stayed in the French team for two seasons, but after an irregular start to the 2013–14 campaign he was loaned to Tigres, where he played for a semester and won the Copa MX. Following this, Herrera was signed by Emelec, where he stayed for three seasons and scored 21 goals in 78 matches, winning the 2014 and 2015 Campeonato Ecuatoriano. In 2017, he was loaned first to Peruvian club FBC Melgar and then to Mexican club Lobos BUAP.

"I know he will be reminded of Giroud’s milestone being his replacement. We’ll have to move on quickly and erase it. He reminds me of Higuain in the game, the morphology is the same. While his game is different from that of Olivier, I have chosen him because he can adapt to our group. He is a good football player and a good goalscorer. He can blend into our game without completely changing what we’ve done so far."
