Ernie Norman (1913-1993) was an Australian rugby league player - a state and national representative Centre or Five-eighth. His club career was with the Eastern Suburbs club in the New South Wales Rugby League competition.

An Eastern Suburbs junior, Norman played over 100 matches for that club and was a member of the Easts sides that won consecutive premierships in seasons 1935, 1936 and 1937.

Norman was graded with Easts at 17 years of age and made his Australian debut two years later at 19. Throughout his career he made 15 state representative appearances for New South Wales and played in 12 Tests for the Australia national rugby league team.

Norman, aged 80, died in 1993.

In February 2008, Norman was named in the list of Australia's "100 Greatest Players" (1908-2007) which was commissioned by the NRL and ARL to celebrate the code's centenary year in Australia.
