Eric Brandon (18 July 1920 in East Ham, London8 August 1982 in Gosport, Hampshire) was a Formula One driver who raced Coopers. When he and his boyhood friend John Cooper were released from military service after World War II they built two cars to the new National 500cc regulations. Brandon, whose business was electrical goods, had access to BTH magnetos for the JAP engines, which Cooper's father Charlie then acquired.

Brandon entered his Cooper in numerous hillclimbs and sprints and in 1947, at Gransden Lodge airfield, he won Britain's first-ever 500cc circuit race. [http://www.500race.org/Men/Brandon.htm Eric Brandon] "500race.org" Retrieved on April 8 2008]

He also won the first Formula Three title. [ [http://www.motorsportsetc.com/champs/gbr_f3.htm British F3 Champions] "motorsportsetc.com" Retrieved on September 4, 2007.]

For much of his career Brandon raced for the Ecurie Richmond team, which he formed with Alan Brown. He continued to compete until 1954, and then became involved in hydroplane racing.
