Eric Griffin (born 1967-11-03 in Lafayette, Louisiana) is a retired boxer from the United States, who competed in the light flyweight (– 48 kg) division during the early 1990s. He won at the 1991 world championships finals, beating Rogelio Marcelo.
As an amateur, Griffin was the co-captain of the 1992 USA Olympic Team.
Griffin turned pro in 1992 and had a disappointing career. He retired in 1997 after being TKO'd in his first and only title shot, a bout for the vacant WBO light flyweight title against Jesus Chong, having won 16 and lost 4 in his pro career.
