Ernest F. Schuck (March 1, 1929 – May 16, 2009) was an American Democratic Party politician who served for seven years as mayor of Barrington, New Jersey and eight years in the New Jersey General Assembly, from 1974 to 1982, where he represented the 5th Legislative District.

Born in the Bridgeboro section of Delran Township, New Jersey on March 1, 1929, Schuck attended Palmyra High School. He received an undergraduate degree from Rutgers University College and later served during the Korean War with the United States Army.

He was a frequent visitor to Ocean City, New Jersey, where he and his family owned a summer home. He was married to the former Elizabeth McNichol and had two daughters and a son.

Schuck died at his home in Barrington at the age of 80 on May 16, 2009, due to lung cancer.

Schuck was first elected in 1966 to serve on the Borough Council of Barrington, New Jersey and was elected the next year to be the borough's mayor, serving in that role until 1974. He was elected in 1973, together with James Florio, to represent the 5th Legislative District in the New Jersey General Assembly, which covered portions of Camden County and Gloucester County; Florio resigned in 1975 to take a seat in Congress. Schuck was re-elected in 1975, 1977 and 1979, winning by overwhelming margins each time, with Walter Rand as his running mate.
