Eric Bennie Cochran (18 June 1890 – 12 April 1969) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Born in Ballarat and recruited from Golden Point, he played nine consecutive matches during the later part of the 1912 season, all of which Carlton won. His last game was a semi-final against Geelong; he did not play the following week, when Carlton lost to Essendon in the preliminary final. Cochran holds the record for the most VFL/AFL career games without playing in a losing team.
