Eric Fehr (born September 7, 1985) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted in the first round, 18th overall, by the Washington Capitals in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. In between two separate playing stints with Washington, Fehr played for the Winnipeg Jets for one season, 2011–12.

In 2014, Fehr became a published author, writing an anti-bullying children's book titled "The Bulliest Dozer". Proceeds from book sales benefited charity.

Fehr was a first-round draft pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals, chosen 18th overall.

Fehr played 11 games with the Capitals in the 2005–06 season, going scoreless with two penalty minutes and an even plus-minus rating. He spent the rest of the season with Washington's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hershey Bears, and ultimately returned to Hershey to start the 2006–07 season. He played a brief callup with the Capitals early into the 2006–07 season, and was later recalled again in late January. His first game back with the Capitals came on January 27, 2007; in the same game, Fehr scored his first career NHL goal, which would be the eventual game-winner in the Capitals' 7–3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.
