Ernest Draper "Ernie" Stewart (July 28, 1909 – November 15, 2001) was a professional baseball umpire who worked in the American League from 1941 to 1945. Stewart umpired 687 regular season Major League Baseball (MLB) games in his 5-year career. He also umpired in the 1942 All-Star Game.[1]

On July 17, 1941, Stewart was umpiring at third base when Ken Keltner made two sharp defensive plays to help end Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak.[2][3]
