Erasmus Ransford Tawiah Madjitey, CBE (11 November 1920 – 23 February 1996) was a Ghanaian police officer, diplomat and politician.

Madjitey was born on 11 November 1920 at Aframase, in the Manya Krobo District of the Eastern Region of Ghana.

Madjitey taught Mathematics and Latin at Accra Academy briefly before joining the Gold Coast Police Force in 1948 as one of its first Ghanaian college graduates.

Madjitey was later detained, for reasons not established to date, under the Preventive Detention Act by the CPP government.

The CPP's overthrow on 24 February 1966, led to his release from detention by the National Liberation Council.

He was a victorious candidate of Dr. Komla Gbedemah's National Alliance of Liberals for the 1969 elections, making him the Member of Parliament for the Manya Krobo constituency from 1969 until parliament was suspended and political parties banned in 1972 after the army under Colonel Acheampong overthrew the government of Ghana's Second Republic.

[7] In 1977 when Acheampong then a General and Head of State decided to overturn the democratic process with the concept of a Union government dubbed UNIGOV, ERT Madjitey together with William Ofori-Atta, Harry Sawyerr, Victor Owusu, Albert Adu Boahen, General Afrifa, G. K. Agama, Sam Okudjeto, Obed Asamoah and others constituted a small anti-UNIGOV group called the Peoples Movement for Freedom and Justice (PMFJ) to resist this move after a referendum widely believed to have been rigged.
