Eric John Paton (born 1 August 1978, Glasgow) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays with Dundee. The midfielder-come-defender has previous played with Hibernian, Stenhousemuir, Partick Thistle, Clydebank and Queen of the South.

Paton has developed into a right back, a position that ex-Queens manager John Connolly favoured the former right sided midfielder in. However his versatility has also seen him deployed on the right of a midfield five, just inside the wide left man and at left back.

Paton joined Dundee in June 2008, after he signed a pre-contract agreement with the club on 24 January 2008. [1]
