Eric Anthony Abrahams (5 May 1940 – 7 August 2011) was a Jamaican public servant and broadcaster. He was director of tourism from 1970 to 1975, and minister of tourism and information from 1980 to 1984. After leaving office, he co-created a radio show with Beverley Manley, "The Breakfast Club". He was involved in a libel suit against the Gleaner Company, which initially resulted in a major settlement to him. Abrahams was educated at Jamaica College and later at the University of the West Indies and University of Oxford (as a Rhodes Scholar). At Oxford, he was elected president of the Oxford Union, a debating society. In 1964, he hosted a debate attended by Malcolm X. In Britain, he briefly worked for the BBC as its first black TV reporter.
