Eric Hughes (born in England) was a rugby league footballer for the Widnes Vikings, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and for the Great Britain national side. He unwittingly added confusion to the Canterbury side as he played at the same time as the three Hughes brothers Garry, Graeme and Mark.

Hughes coached Rochdale for the 1987/88 season. He was coach of St. Helens from January 1994 until January 1996. In 1996, he was appointed head coach at Leigh, he was replaced by Keith Latham. He went on to coach Wigan Warriors, replacing Graeme West in February, 1997.
