Ernest 'Ernie' Muttitt (24 July 1908 – 1996) was an English football utility player who played in the Football League for Brentford and Middlesbrough. He was posthumously inducted into the Brentford Hall of Fame in 2015. He was nicknamed "Bulldog".
An outside left, Muttitt began his career in his native north east with Northern League side South Bank, before transferring to newly promoted Division One side Middlesbrough in April 1929. Muttitt had to wait until 27 November 1929 to make his debut and had a dream start, scoring the winner in a 2–1 victory over Arsenal. Muttitt managed 14 appearances and three goals during the 1929–30 season as Middlesbrough consolidated their position with a mid-table finish. He found first team chances harder to come by in the following two seasons and departed Ayresome Park in the summer of 1932. Muttitt made 25 appearances and scored four goals during his three years with Middlesbrough.
Muttitt joined Division Three South side Brentford in the summer of 1932 as part of a four-way transfer, with former Middlesbrough teammates Jack Holliday, Billy Scott and Herbert Watson all arriving at Griffin Park. Muttitt made 14 appearances and scored four goals during his first season with the Bees, a season in which the club finished as Division Three South champions. Muttitt broke into the team during the 1933–34 season, making 40 appearances and scoring 12 goals as Brentford finished fourth in the club's first season in the second tier. The 1934–35 season was a mixed campaign for Muttitt, scoring seven goals in only 14 appearances to claim a Division Two winner's medal. He spent much of the campaign in the reserve team and contributed to the side's London Challenge Cup triumph.
