Eric Pascoe (born 8 October 1953) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1970s.

The ruckman from Bendigo was an understudy to John Nicholls and Peter Jones at Carlton and made his early VFL appearances when one of them was injured. He was Carlton's reserves 'Best and Fairest' winner in 1973. Nicholls retired in 1974 but by then ruckman Mike Fitzpatrick had been recruited from the West Australian Football League and Pascoe continued to play most of his football in the reserves. [1]

After getting a clearance, Pascoe joined Clarence in Tasmania for a two-year stint as captain-coach. [2] He won a Michelsen Medal in 1979, while playing for Bendigo Football League club Golden Square.

He remained static in 1979, but the following year Lee moved into the elite of Australian Rules as his ability as a knock ruckman combined with the running power of fellow Mildura recruit Dale Weightman, Robert Wiley, Geoff Raines and Bryan Wood to give one of the most potent forward lines in Australian Rules history an abundance of ball.
