Eckhard Krautzun (born 13 January 1941 in Solingen) is a German football coach and former football player.

As a player, Krautzun turned out for Union Solingen, Rheydter sports association, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Young Fellows Zürich and TeBe Berlin. As well as a manager, Krautzun has acted as a technical director and scout. He has worked extensively in North America and Asia, where he worked as a scout in China and Korea from 2001-2003.

Krautzun was the first head coach of Canada not to hail from that country or the United Kingdom. After his resignation, Krautzun pointed to the lack of public support for amateur sports in Canada as a reason for the country's lack of success on the international stage.[1]

The German steered Tunisia through World Cup 2002 qualifying but resigned ahead of the tournament, citing interference from the Tunisian FA with his coaching.

Krauztun was in charge of a training camp for promising Chinese youngsters in Bad Kissingen, Germany in 2006, helping prepare the younger generation of players for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.[2] In 2007, he acted as an advisor to the Chinese women's team, stepping down in March of that year due to health issues.[2]
