Albertus "Bert" John Eckhoff (18 October 1901 – 9 December 1967) was a professional New Zealand rugby league footballer who played in the 1920s.

[citation needed] In 1924 while playing a club match for Zingari-Richmond against Alhambra on 21 June he was alleged to have kicked an opponent in the chest as he lay on the ground following a scrum.

A lengthy meeting was held by the Otago union looking into the matter involving numerous witnesses as they sought to find the offending player.

[5] In 1924 Eckhoff joined the newly formed City Rovers club based in Dunedin though they did not play any matches as it was the tail end of the season.

He retired at the end of the season and refereed senior matches each week throughout 1933 and 1934 before the competition in Otago ceased entirely.
