Air Vice Marshal Brian Alexander Eaton, CB, CBE, DSO & Bar, DFC (15 December 1916 – 17 October 1992) was a senior commander in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
Posted to No. 3 Squadron at the beginning of 1943, he flew P-40 Kittyhawk fighter-bombers in North Africa. Despite being shot down three times within ten days soon after arriving, Eaton quickly rose to become the unit's commanding officer, and by year's end had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. His leadership earned him the Distinguished Service Order and Bar in 1944–45, and command of No. 239 Wing RAF in Italy, with the temporary rank of Group Captain.
Following World War II, Eaton led No. 81 Wing in Japan and No. 78 Wing in Malta. He commanded RAAF Base Williamtown from 1957 to 1959, then held a series of senior command positions culminating in AOC Operational Command in 1973. Eaton retired from the RAAF in December 1973, and became an executive for Rolls-Royce in Canberra. He died in 1992 at the age of 75.
