Ernesto Guajardo Gómez (30 September 1918 – 25 September 1978) was a Chilean worker, trade union leader, and politician, member of the Socialist Party of Chile.
He served as Deputy for the 26th Departmental District (Magallanes, Última Esperanza and Tierra del Fuego) in the legislative period 1965–1969. He was also Mayor of Punta Arenas in 1961 and alderman (regidor) of the same city between 1963 and 1969.
He was born in Punta Arenas on 30 September 1918, the son of Juan Bautista Guajardo and Carmen Gómez.
He completed his primary studies in Punta Arenas but had to abandon school at the age of 13 to begin working as a construction worker.
From 1936, he worked as a rancher, and from 1956, he dedicated himself to port labor, occasionally working as a merchant seaman. In 1965, when he was elected Deputy, he was working as a stevedore.
