Ernest Richard Draffin (September 21, 1909 – December 19, 1982) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada.
He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1945 to 1949 as a member of the social-democratic Cooperative Commonwealth Federation.
He was a member of the Commercial Telegraphers Union of America, and served on the provincial executive of the CCF.
The CCF suffered an electoral setback in the 1949 provincial election, and Draffin lost his seat to Liberal-Progressive candidate Reginald Wightman[1] by 1,214 votes.
He campaigned in the St. Andrews constituency in the 1953 provincial election,[1] but finished a poor third against Liberal-Progressive Thomas Hillhouse.
