Trevor Nelson Eather (9 August 1920 – 2 December 1980) was an Australian rugby league player.

A farmer from Boggabri, Eather played centre for Australia against Great Britain in 1946, replacing injured captain Ron Bailey in the 3rd Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.[1]

Eather joined Western Suburbs in the 1947 NSWRFL season, featuring equally as a centre and winger.[2] He appeared in the play-off win over St. George, then missed the semi-final against Balmain with a leg muscle injury, having tripped over a spectator in the hours before the game.[3]
