Ernest "Ernie" Hall (September 16, 1929 – January 25, 1987) was an English-born merchant and political figure in British Columbia. He represented Surrey in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1966 to 1975 and from 1979 to 1983 as a New Democratic Party (NDP) member.

He was born in Manchester and worked briefly as teacher before joining the British Army. Hall came to Canada in 1957 and worked as a textile wholesaler. He later worked for the Hudson's Bay Company wholesale division. In 1963, he was named provincial secretary for the NDP in British Columbia. He lived in Surrey.[1] Hall was defeated when he ran for reelection to the provincial assembly in 1975, when he lost to Bill Vander Zalm, and in 1983.[2] He served in the provincial cabinet as Provincial Secretary. In 1974, Hall introduced a bill to establish British Columbia Day as a public holiday in the province.[3]

He died of a heart attack in 1987. He was 57.[4]
