Eyal Golan, (Hebrew: אייל גולן‎; born 12 April 1971), is an Israeli singer who sings in the Mizrahi style. He was born Eyal Biton in Marmorek, Rehovot, Israel on April 12, 1971.

Golan started performing in nightclubs at the age of 16. His first album, "Whisper in the Night" was released in 1993. In 1996 he put out another album, called "Live Performance," which included songs from famous Israeli singers such as Shlomo Artzi. However it was his third album, "Without You," that boosted him into the limelight and was particularly well received in Israel. The album, which went platinum, featured tracks written and composed by two members of the popular Tel Aviv band Ethnix, Ze'ev Nehama and Tamir Kalinsi.

Eyal was managed for a long time by producer Ishai Ben Zur, who was responsible for the success of many of Eyal's albums. However, because of a money dispute, they are currently not working together any more.

One of Eyal's most famous songs is Yafa Sheli (My Beauty), the first track off the album Hayal shel Ahava (Soldier of Love), released in 1998.
