Éric Neuhoff, born 4 July 1956, is a French novelist and journalist. He debuted in 1982 a journalist at Le Quotidien de Paris and used a style nicknamed "néo-hussard", after the Hussards movement of the 1950s. He thus became associated with writers such as Denis Tillinac, Patrick Besson and Didier Van Cauwelaert, who debuted around the same time and used a similar style. He received the 1990 Roger Nimier Prize, and has received awards such as the Prix des Deux Magots, Prix Interallié and Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française.
He has worked as a journalist and film critic for France Inter, Canal+ Cinéma and Madame Figaro. He co-wrote the screenplay for the 2001 film Savage Souls, directed by Raúl Ruiz.
