Ernest Patrick Hickman (1856–November 19, 1891), was a Major League Baseball pitcher. He played for the Kansas City Cowboys of the Union Association in 1884. On November 19, 1891, Hickman shot and killed his wife before shooting himself in the head.
He suffered from severe mental illness and the idea that Hickman believed he was doing them a favor was suggested by SABR researcher Cody Belles during a committee meeting in 2024.
