Eric Coley (23 July 1903 – 3 May 1957) was an English international rugby union player.
A back-row forward, Coley spent his entire career with hometown club Northampton. He was a regular member of Barbarian invitational sides and toured Argentina with the British Lions in 1927, featuring in two of the four internationals against the Pumas. Capped twice for England, Coley debuted in an away win over France in 1929, then returned against Wales for the opening 1932 Home Nations fixture in Swansea, where he scored their solitary try in a losing cause.[1][2]
Coley was later an England rugby selector and secretary of Northamptonshire County Cricket Club.[3]
