Eiling Kramer (1914 – 1999) MLA, was an auctioneer and rancher in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Eiling Kramer was born in 1914, in the North Battleford district. After attending school in Highworth, Eiling became a rancher and an auctioneer before pursuing a lifetime of public service. He is remembered as one of the most charming and colourful characters to grace Saskatchewan's political scene. He is the longest serving member in the history of Saskatchewan's Legislative Assembly. First elected in 1952 as the member of the Legislative Assembly for North Battleford, Eiling won re-election in every campaign he contested. He served as a Cabinet minister in the New Democratic Party of Saskatchewan governments under Woodrow Lloyd and Allan Blakeney, managing portfolios that included the departments of Natural Resources, Co-operation and Co-operatives, and Highways. He was involved with the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, the Sherwood Co-op Association, the Saskatchewan Farmers' Union, and the Lions and Cosmopolitan Clubs.

Eiling retired from politics in 1980, and died in 1999.
