Ernest Graham Ingham (30 January 1851 – 9 April 1926) was an eminent Anglican bishop and author living at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

Life Ingham was born in Bermuda, the seventh child and third son of Samuel Saltus Ingham, Speaker of the House of Assembly of Bermuda. He was educated at Bishop's College School in Canada and Christ's College, Cambridge — gaining his Cambridge Master of Arts (MA Cantab) —, and ordained in 1877.
