Ernest Frederick Upham (24 March 1873 in Wellington – 23 October 1935 in Paekakariki) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington from 1892 to 1910. He batted right-handed and bowled right-arm medium pace.
In 40 first-class matches Upham scored 598 runs at 12.20 and took 226 wickets at 15.01 with a best of 7/24. He also played for New Zealand twice against Australia in 1905, 25 years before New Zealand gained Test status.
