Eberhard Schöler (born 22 December 1940) is a retired table tennis competitor from West Germany who won several medals at the world and European championships between 1962 and 1972.[1] He was a defensive player known for his calm demeanor, for which he received a nickname "Mr. Poker Face".[2]

Schöler has a degree in business administration. In early 1966, he married Diane Rowe,[2] a table tennis player from England who later competed for Germany; they often competed in mixed doubles together. Schöler and Rowe have a daughter Cindy (born 1968) and son Christian (born 1974). Schöler retired from competitions in the 1970s, but came back in the 1980s and won a silver medal at the 1986 World Championships in the masters category. Since 1990s he held leading positions at the national, European and International Table Tennis Federations.[3][4]
