Lord Ernest William Hamilton (5 September 1858 – 14 December 1939) was a British aristocrat, soldier, author, and Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1885 to 1892.

[4] Lord Ernest was the author of several novels, two of which, The Outlaws of the Marches and The Mawkin of the Flow, are set on the Scottish Borders in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

His religious views are expressed in Involution, a book which denounces the theological concept of sacrificial atonement and argues that Jesus was a purely ethical teacher.

Hamilton argues that Marcionism was the correct interpretation of Jesus' message and that the God of the Old Testament is a personification of the Jewish national character, which he describes in highly anti-semitic terms.
