Eric Spear (1908 – 3 November 1966) was an English composer of film music.
Spear is best known for composing the original theme tune for the UK's longest running soap opera, Coronation Street for which he was paid £6. The highly recognisable theme tune has only been slightly modified since the show began in 1960. He participated to the film Streets of Shadow in which was featured the German World War I spy Elsbeth Schragmüller.
