Eric William Dempster MBE (25 January 1925 – 15 August 2011) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in five Tests from 1953 to 1954.

Éric ['eʁik] is a French masculine given name, the equivalent of English Eric. In French-speaking Canada and Belgium it is also sometimes unaccented, and pronounced "Eric" as English with the stress on the "i". A notable French exception is Erik Satie, born Éric, but who in later life signed his name "Erik" pronounced as in English.
