George Ernest Pickett (June 27, 1936 – July 1, 2009) was an American weightlifter. Ernie Pickett competed as a heavyweight weightlifter at the 1968 Olympics. He was first at the US YMCA Championships in 1968 and placed second at the US Olympic Trials. In February 1968 Pickett set a world record for the press with 202.0 kg, and later in the year hoisted 207.5 kg which bettered the world record, but was not ratified. Pickett was also quite good at power lifting, winning multiple titles in that version of weightlifting.
