Hylton Michael Ackerman (28 April 1947 - 2 September 2009) was a South African first class cricketer who played for Western Province in the 1970s.
He attended Dale College Boy's High School where he was headboy. His son, Hylton D. Ackerman, played test cricket for South Africa.
During his 234 first class games, the left-handed batsman had a stint with Northamptonshire County Cricket Club. Ackerman never had the opportunity to play test cricket due to the 1970-92 sports boycott protesting the apartheid policies of the South African government.[1]
He died in Cape Town, aged 62.[2]
