Ernest James Webb (25 April 1874 – 24 February 1937) was a British athlete who competed mainly in the 10-mile walk and competed for Great Britain in the 1908 Summer Olympics held in London and the 1912 Summer Olympics in Sweden.

Webb, born in Hackney, London, competed for the Herne Hill Harriers.

[2][3] At the 1908 Olympic Games, Webb competed in the 10 mile walk, winning the silver medal behind fellow Brit George Larner.

The two of them repeated this in the 3500 metre walk, giving Ernest Webb his second silver medal of the games.

[6][7] Three years later in 1912, he returned to the Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden, where he competed in the inaugural 10 kilometre walk and finished off with his third Olympic silver behind Canada's George Goulding.
