Saxe-Hildburghausen (German: Sachsen-Hildburghausen) was an Ernestine duchy in the southern side of the present State of Thuringia in Germany. It existed from 1680 to 1826 but its name and borders are currently used by the District of Hildburghausen.

Ernest Frederick, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (Saalfeld, 8 March 1724 – Coburg, 8 September 1800), was a Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.

He was the eldest son of Francis Josias, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and Anna Sophie of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. He is a patrilineal ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.

Ernest Frederick succeeded his father in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld when he died in 1764 and established his definitive residence shifted in Coburg. Because of the high indebtedness of the duchy he was compelled by Emperor Joseph II in 1773 to work with a Debit commission—an obligatory administration of debts assigned by the emperor—for over thirty years.
