Eric Ineke (born Haarlem, April 1, 1947) is a Dutch jazz drummer who started his career in the 1960s.

After a few years of lessons of John Engels, he gained his first experience as a jazzdrummer with singer Henny Vonk and tenorsaxophonist Ferdinand Povel.

For more than 40 years he has been the drummer of the Rein de Graaff Trio and since 2006 has led the Eric Ineke JazzXpress, a quintet in the hard-bop tradition.
