Ebenezer Hamlin (1844 – 4 June 1900) was a Member of Parliament in New Zealand, and an independent conservative. He was born in Orua on the Manukau Harbour to the Rev James Hamlin, a missionary who had arrived in New Zealand in 1823. He fought in the New Zealand Wars in the 1860s, and was a Major in the Territorial Army.

He represented the South Auckland seats of Franklin from 1876 to 1881; and then the replacement electorate of Franklin South from 1881 to 1890. He then represented the reconstituted Franklin electorate from 1890 to 1893 when he retired. He was never defeated.

He served as Chairman of Committees from 1882 to 1890.
