Eric Joseph Hewitt (19 December 1935 – 2008) was an English first-class cricketer who played in one match for Warwickshire in 1954 and in another single game for the Combined Services in 1957.{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/30/30186/30186.html| title = Eric Hewitt| publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | accessdate = 13 August 2015}} He was born in Erdington, Birmingham; the exact date and the place of his death are not known.

A right-handed lower order batsman and a right-arm leg-break and googly bowler, Hewitt scored 40 in his only Warwickshire innings and also took his only first-class wicket in his solitary game for the county, against Oxford University in 1954.{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/21/21162.html | title = Scorecard: Warwickshire v Oxford University | date = 26 June 1954| publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | accessdate = 16 August 2015}} For the Combined Services against Warwickshire in 1957, he batted in the middle order but did not bowl.{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/22/22650.html | title = Scorecard: Warwickshire v Combined Services | date = 14 August 1957 | publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | accessdate = 16 August 2015}} He played fairly regularly for Warwickshire's second eleven in the 1958 Minor Counties Championship, but was only intermittently successful as a bowler and not at all as a batsman.
