Neil Eckersley (born 5 April 1964) is a retired judoka from the United Kingdom, who represented Great Britain at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California.

[1][2] There he won a bronze medal in the men's extra-lightweight division (‍–‍60 kg), alongside USA's Edward "Ed" Liddie.

[3] In 1986, he won the silver medal in the 60kg weight category at the judo demonstration sport event as part of the 1986 Commonwealth Games.

Winning a bronze medal in the light-weight division (-60 kg) of the 1987 Matsutarō Shoriki cup in Tokyo[6] likely made Eckersley to become the first British male judoka to win a medal during a major international tournament held in Japan.
