Emanuel Otto Hahn (30 May 1881 – 14 February 1957) was a German-born Canadian sculptor and coin designer.

Born in Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, he moved to Toronto in 1888 with his family.Among the coins of Canada, he designed the famous Voyageur Dollar design, which depicts a fur-trapper ("coureur des bois") from the Hudson's Bay Company and an Inuit in a canoe with the Northern Lights (aurora (astronomy)), the famous Nova Scotian racing schooner "Bluenose" on the 10c. coin, the caribou's head on the 25c. coin, and the Canadian Parliament Buildings reverse of the 1939 Royal Visit silver $1 coin.

In 1928, he was a co-founder of the Sculptors Society of Canada.

He taught and later married Elizabeth Wyn Wood. There was only one book ever written about him, by Victoria Baker.

The Ontario Heritage Foundation plaque for the South African War Memorial erroneously states that Walter Seymour Allward studied under Emanuel Hahn, when in fact it was the other way around.
