Ernest Walter 'Ernie' Hucker (1887-1970) was a pioneer Australian rugby league player from the 1910s.

Ernie Hucker was born at Waterloo, New South Wales in 1887, and like many other young guys of the era, grew up playing rugby union. He switched to the new code of rugby league at the inception of the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 1908, and was playing first grade for the club by 1910, and he played prop in the 1910 Final. He switched clubs to North Sydney in 1911, then switched back to South Sydney Rabbitohs for 1912 and for his final season he switched clubs again, this time to the Balmain club for 1913.

His only representative appearance was for the Sydney (Metropolis) team in 1911.

Ernie Hucker died on 3 July 1970.
