Eric Khoo Kim Hai (born 27 March 1965) is a Singaporean film director and producer who is often credited for the revival of Singapore's modern film industry.

Born on 27 March 1965 in Singapore, Eric Khoo was the youngest son of the 15 children of Tan Sri Khoo Teck Puat from his second wife Rose Marie Wee. His mother, who was a cinephile, introduced him to cinema when he was three years old. He later received his education at the United World College of South East Asia.

Khoo's interest in film eventually led him to study cinematography at the City Art Institute in Sydney, Australia.

In 1990, Khoo started directing short films with Barbie Digs Joe as his first short film. In 1991, his short film August won the Singapore International Film Festival's (SIFF) Silver Screen Award for Best Singaporean short film.

In 1992, the short film Carcass, which draws parallels between the life of a businessman and that of a butcher, was the first local film to be given an R(A) rating. In 1994, Pain, the story of a sadomasochism young man, won Khoo the Best Director and Special Achievement Awards at the 1994 Sadomasochism but was banned in Singapore because of its graphically violent scenes.

In 1995, Khoo filmed his first feature film, Mee Pok Man, the first full-length film made by an independent Singaporean filmmaker on a tight budget of $70,000 to S$100,000. Concerning a lonely noodle seller who falls for a prostitute, Mee Pok Man earned much critical accolade worldwide and encouraged more experimental, independent filmmaking in the nation. The film was also the first Singaporean feature film to be entered for SIFF.

Khoo's films Mee Pok Man and 12 Storeys have together been screened at over 60 film festivals, held all over the world including prestigious festivals such as Venice, Berlin and Rotterdam.

In 1998, Khoo was ranked as one of the 25 exceptional trend makers of Asia by Asiaweek magazine and in the following year was included into Asiaweek's leaders for the millennium issue. He was an executive producer for the local comedy hit, Liang Po Po – The Movie (1999), and One Leg Kicking (2001), which were both the highest grossing local movies for their respective years in Singapore. He also produced 15 (2003) directed by Royston Tan, which screened at the Venice Film Festival (2003) and Sundance (2004). His TV work includes being executive producer of DRIVE, an anthology series for the Television Corporation of Singapore (1998), and Seventh Month (2004), a highly acclaimed TV horror series for Channel U (under SPH Mediaworks). These productions served as a platform for grooming young talented filmmakers.
