Perry Steele Ten Eyck (September 20, 1907 – August 17, 1959) was a college basketball coach, the head coach at Gonzaga University for the 1931–32 season.[1] A 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) forward and center, he was the captain of the Golden Bears basketball team at the University of California under head coach Nibs Price.[1][2]

Ten Eyck resigned after only one season at Gonzaga and was replaced by freshman coach Claude McGrath, hired as head coach in November 1932.[3]

After offering a ride to two hitchhikers in California in 1959, Ten Eyck was found beaten to death near Ukiah.[2][4][5]
