Ernest Francis "Ernie" Case (November 23, 1920 – December 13, 1995) was an American athlete who played quarterback for the University of California, Los Angeles, and professionally in the All-America Football Conference for the Baltimore Colts.
A bomber pilot who was shot down and captured as a prisoner-of-war during World War II, Case is best remembered for leading UCLA to its first 10–0 season and a berth in the 1947 Rose Bowl game.
Although the first quarterback selected in the 1947 NFL draft, Case signed instead with the upstart All-America Football Conference, playing just one uneventful season in a reserve role before retiring.
