Eugene M. DeLoatch (born 1936) in Piermont, New York, is an American academic in engineering education.

He credits his awareness of the possibility of becoming an African American engineer to his high school French teacher.

In 1960, after graduating with his advanced degrees, DeLoatch became an engineering professor at Howard University.
