Ernest Eric Crossan (3 November 1915 – 10 August 2009) was an Australian cricketer. Having played as a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler for New South Wales from 1937 to 1946, Crossan was at the time of his death the last surviving New South Wales player to have appeared for the team before the Second World War. "He was the last link to an era of great players, including former Australian representatives, Stan McCabe, Bill O'Reilly, Bert Oldfield, Sid Barnes, Arthur Chipperfield and Jack Fingleton, who all played alongside Ern in his debut match in 1937" wrote David Gilbert, Chief Executive of the club.
