Eric Valent (born April 4, 1977 in La Mirada, California) is a Major League Baseball player. He has played for the New York Mets since 2004. Previously, Valent played for the Philadelphia Phillies (2001-02) and Cincinnati Reds (2003). He bats and throws left handed.

Valent provides good power from the left side of the plate. A solid pinch-hitter and valuable utilityman, he is a competent first baseman who can play either left or right field effectively. He has a strong arm with great accuracy on his throws.

On July 29, 2004, Valent became the eighth player in Mets history to hit for the cycle in a game against the Montreal Expos. He also posted three pinch-hit home runs in late August.

In a four-season career, Valent is a .240 hitter with 13 home runs and 36 RBI in 177 games.
