Ernest Eugene Oravetz (January 24, 1932 – December 3, 2006) was an American professional baseball player.

A switch-hitting outfielder who threw left-handed, he played two seasons of Major League Baseball with the 1955–1956 Washington Senators.

He never hit more than two home runs in any professional season,[1] but he batted .311 during his minor league career and in 1951, his first year as a pro, he led the Class D Florida State League in batting (.362) and runs scored (122) and was named to the All-Star team.

Coincidentally, in 1958, the Senators would feature another diminutive outfielder, 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m), 140 lb (64 kg) Albie Pearson.

Ernie Oravetz died in Tampa, Florida, where he had settled after his baseball career was over, at the age of 74.
