Eric Allan Dolphy (* 20. Juni 1928 in Los Angeles; † 29. Juni 1964 in West-Berlin) war ein US-amerikanischer Jazzmusiker und wichtiger Wegbereiter der Jazz-Avantgarde der 1960er Jahre. Als Multiinstrumentalist spielte Dolphy Querflöte, Bassklarinette, Altsaxophon sowie Klarinette. Außerdem komponierte und arrangierte er. Als besondere Leistung neben seinen Improvisationen und Kompositionen gilt die Etablierung der Bassklarinette als Instrument im Jazzrepertoire.
