Eric James Cremin (15 June 1914 – 29 December 1973) was an Australian professional golfer.
After World War II, Cremin was runner-up in the Australian PGA Championship a further seven times, including 1946 to 1948 consecutively.
In 1959, Cremin and a Welsh international golfer, Kim Hall, established a tournament in Hong Kong to provide an additional event for the Australian professionals who were travelling to play in the Philippine Open.
The Hong Kong Open was a great success, and within a few years, similar tournaments had been founded in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan and Japan, and the Far East Circuit had become firmly established.
