Sean Michael Ervine (born 6 December 1982 in Harare, Zimbabwe) is a Zimbabwean cricketer. Ervine is a left-handed batsman who bowls right-arm medium pace.

He played in the 2003 World Cup but became one of the cricketers who rebelled against the Zimbabwe Cricket Union and a left the country in May 2004 for a new life in Australia. He subsequently made his way to England settled with Hampshire and forged a very successful county career signing a contract until the end of 2016.

Ervine originally played for the Midlands cricket team in Zimbabwe.

Ervine was one of several cricketers in dispute with the Zimbabwe Cricket Union in 2004 and he left the country to play for Hampshire in England and for Western Australia. Ervine declared that he would not return to play for Zimbabwe and, following excellent form for Hampshire from 2005, and some recent breakthroughs for Western Australia, Ervine announced that he would seek to qualify for either English or Australian international representation. Ervine currently holds an Irish passport and therefore does not count as an overseas player in English county cricket.

During the 2009 County Championship season, Ervine scored 832 runs at an average of 41.60, making him Hampshire's fourth highest run scorer in the competition. In the 2009 Friends Provident Trophy, Ervine scored his highest List-A score of 167* against Ireland. Ervine was later a member of Hampshire's winning squad in the final as they defeated Sussex by 6 wickets.
