Eriq Ebouaney (born 3 October 1967) is a French actor.

Il enchaîne d'autres films, mais ce n'est que dans Les Enfants du marais de Jean Becker qu'il peut entièrement exprimer son jeu de comédien, interprétant « Banania », le tirailleur qui a survécu à la grande guerre, tant craint par Riton (Jacques Villeret).
Un an plus tard, il interprète le rôle principal du film Lumumba, retraçant la vie du dirigeant politique de la République démocratique du Congo et son combat pour amener son pays à l'indépendance, assassiné après seulement deux mois de gouvernance.
Depuis, il a tourné dans de grosses productions internationales, dont Femme fatale de Brian De Palma et Kingdom of Heaven de Ridley Scott ; cependant, il privilégie surtout le cinéma d'auteurs et les jeunes réalisateurs.
La réalisatrice et metteuse en scène australienne Elise McLeod l'accompagne et le conseille pour le cinéma et la télévision depuis 2009.
