Eric Tillman (born c. 1957 in Jackson, Mississippi) is the former general manager of the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. Tillman previously served as a broadcast analyst, general manager, and scout in several football organizations. Part-way through the 2006 CFL season, Tillman was hired as the Roughriders' general manager after they fired long-time GM Roy Shivers. (Prior to working in Saskatchewan, Tillman was the general manager of the British Columbia Lions, the Toronto Argonauts, and the Ottawa Renegades.)

On January 27, 2009, Tillman was charged with sexual assault. Regina police spokeswoman Elizabeth Popowich said the complainant, a 16-year-old girl, made her allegation on August 6, 2008. He was placed on paid administrative leave by the team on February 5, 2009. He pleaded guilty to the charge on January 4, 2010, the day his trial on this summary offence was to begin. He was granted an absolute discharge the following day. On January 8, 2010, he resigned from his position as the Roughriders' general manager.
