Eric Arthur Guy (18 August 1932 – 3 May 1991)^[2] was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the VFL.

After initially playing for the Carrum Football Club in the Mornington Peninsula Football League, Guy started his top level senior career at the Oakleigh Football Club in the Victorian Football Association in 1952. In a controversial start to his career at Oakleigh, both Guy and his Carrum teammate Bill Botten played the opening match of the 1952 season before their transfer paperwork had been formally lodged, which resulted in the match, which Oakleigh had won by ten goals, being forfeited to Brunswick.^[3] Guy played 91 senior games for the club over five years.

He did enough to catch the eye of St Kilda and they recruited him for the 1957 season. A tough and fearless half back flanker, he served as vice-captain at St Kilda for three of his six seasons, as well as representing Victoria in interstate football.

Guy died in 1991.
