Eric Oliver Rimmington (19 July 1926 – 3 November 2024) was an English painter of still lifes, landscapes and murals.

He is best known for his mural in the Trafalgar public house, Portsmouth, which influenced English Heritage in listing the building.

The eldest was Charlie Rimmington junior, of the Royal Navy,[nb 4] who was mentioned in dispatches in the 1944 Birthday Honours.

However, before he could complete his studies, he was recruited as a cadet into the Dorset Regiment during the Second World War, serving in the Far East, and becoming second lieutenant on 14 October 1945.

While working at Wolverhampton he formed a partnership with Mary Michaels, a history of art teacher at the same establishment, and they married in 1994.

Mary Michaels said that in Winsconsin, "Eric found an atmosphere refreshingly free of the prescriptive attitudes that dominated the British art world".
