Ernest Wildman Burnett (22 September 1844 – 22 December 1931) was an English first-class cricketer.

Born at Brighton, Burnett was educated at Harrow School. He made his debut in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club against the Gentlemen of Kent at Canterbury in 1862.[1] Three years later he played two first-class matches for the Surrey Club against the Marylebone Cricket Club at The Oval and Lord's.[1] He played for the Gentlemen of the South in the 1867 Gentlemen of the South v Gentlemen of the North fixture.[1] He played in his final first-class match in 1868 for Southgate against Cambridge University at Fenner's.[1] He scored a total of 45 run across his six first-class matches, as well as taking two wickets.[2] Burnett was living in Cannock in 1874, where he was in partnership with Bernard Gilpin as a tool manufacturer.[3] He was still associated with that industry in the Staffordshire area by 1911, when the company he was employed with, William Gilpin Senr. and Co. Limited, was liquidated.[4] He died at Oxford in December 1931. His grandson was Brian Burnett.[5]
