Ephraim Bell Muttart (March 7, 1839 – June 26, 1912) was a physician and political figure in Prince Edward Island, Canada. He represented King's County in the House of Commons of Canada from 1878 to 1882 as a Conservative member.

He was born in Cape Traverse, Prince Edward Island, the son of John Muttart, of German origin, and Elizabeth Bell, a Scottish immigrant. Muttart was educated in P.E.I., in Sackville, New Brunswick and at Harvard University, receiving his M.D. there in 1861. Muttart set up practice in Souris. In 1863, he married a Miss McDonald.
