Eustace Folville (d. 1346) was an English criminal and outlaw who is credited with assassinating the unpopular Roger de Beler, Baron of the Exchequer and henchman of the despised Hugh le Despencer and King Edward II. He was the most active member of the Folville Gang, which engaged in acts of vigilantism and outlawry in Leicestershire in the early 1300s, often on behalf of others.
