Ernest Adolphe Caron (1840–1919) was a French lawyer and politician. He was President of the Municipal Council of Paris, based at the Hotel de Ville, from November 1909, and served as a councillor of the 2nd arrondissement (Vivienne) district of Paris on the Municipal Council of Paris in the Third Republic, for 25 years from 1890.
In an article edited by Henry de Pène in Le Gaulois newspaper of November 1909, the month he was elected president of the Paris council, Ernest Caron was described as wise, prudent and moderate, and a welcome change following recent turbulent public discourse and the notorious Affaire Ferrer. "M. Caron, le nouveau président de la municipalité parisienne, est un homme sage et prudent. Très certainement il ne compromettra pas lès intérêts de la Ville en liant partie avec ceux qui representent en France les idées révolutionnaires et surtout antipatriotiques".
