Ernest Bryan (6 June 1926 - March 2008) was a Welsh footballer.
Bryan made one peacetime appearance in The Football League for Chester, when he replaced regular right back Reg Butcher in a 3âÂÂ3 draw at Darlington in January 1949. A product of the club's youth policy, he had earlier featured in wartime league matches for the club.
After leaving Chester, Bryan moved to Colwyn Bay.
