Eric Thane Soderholm (born September 24, 1948) is an American former Major League Baseball third baseman who played for the Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees from 1971 to 1980.

Soderholm stroked 16 of his 25 homers after the All-Star break to help keep the South Side Hitmen, as the Sox were fondly known that year, in the AL West pennant race into September.

Soderholm was dealt again after the 1979 season to the New York Yankees where he finished out his playing career as a part-time Designated Hitter.

He was invited to Chicago Cubs spring training in 1982, but after many surgeries his beat-up knees could no longer handle the stress of everyday playing.

Eric also went on to own Soderworld, a healing arts center, in Willowbrook, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago.
