Ernst skins ( * April 26, 1876, † 1959) was a German rower, who was third in 1900 Olympics with the coxed four.

At the Olympic Games 1900 Olympic competitions were held in rowing on the Seine in Paris for the first time. In the four with coxswain four boats should reach the finals: The three lead winners and the fastest losers. The foursome from Ludwig Ruderverein with Carl Lehle, Ernst skins, Hermann Wilker, Otto Fickeisen and helmsman Franz Kröwerath won the first heat, but had a slower time than the third placed boat of the third forward playback. Therefore, there were protests against the qualification, which should be corrected on 26 August in an elimination race. It had not been informed, so that some boats were missing, including the four from Ludwigshafen all participants. This led to the decision to evaluate the result of the elimination race as the official final result and for the three boats that had missed this race to host another official finale on August 27. This compromise there for the Olympic Games in 1900, two official finals with official Olympic Champions, Olympics Second and Olympic bronze medalists.
