Ewing Oil Company is a fictional oil company from the television series "Dallas". The company was founded by John Ross "Jock" Ewing, Sr. during the Great Depression. After he retired in 1977 Jock made his oldest son John Ross "J. R." Ewing, Jr. the President of Ewing Oil but remained Chairman of the Board. When J. R. was shot Jock made his son Bobby Ewing president of the company, but once J. R. recovered Bobby refused to step down but eventually quit because of the nature of the oil business.

When Jock died in a helicopter crash in South America his will divided the company equally between J. R. and Bobby and after one year whoever had made more profits would gain 51% of Ewing Oil. But when Bobby won on a technicality they divided it between them with other percentages going to Miss Ellie, Gary, and Ray.

Later J. R. and Bobby sold 5% each to their cousin Jack Ewing, who had valuable information needed to help the Ewings keep control of Ewing Oil. A couple of months later, Jack sold it to his sister Jamie Ewing-Barnes. She died and left it in her estate, which was inherited by her soon to be ex-husband, Cliff Barnes, son of co-founder Digger Barnes.

Jack came back to another court battle over Ewing Oil, which he helped settle with his 10% being divided in half to his brother-in-law and his ex-wife (the court granted half of his income and wealth for five after divorce).
