Eric M. Bieniemy Jr. (bee-EN-uh-me; born August 15, 1969) is an American professional football coach and former running back who is the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Colorado Buffaloes and is their all-time leader in rushing yards (3,940) and touchdowns (42). Bieniemy was also named a unanimous All-American and finished third in Heisman Trophy voting during their 1990 national championship season.

Bieniemy was selected by the San Diego Chargers in the second round of the 1991 NFL draft, later playing for the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles primarily as a special teamer before returning to Colorado in the early 2000s to finish his degree. Following that, he was hired as the school's running backs coach and later coached for the UCLA Bruins and the NFL's Minnesota Vikings, helping develop players such as Maurice Jones-Drew and Adrian Peterson.

Bieniemy was Colorado's offensive coordinator for two seasons prior to joining the Kansas City Chiefs as running backs coach in 2013. He was credited in the development of Jamaal Charles and Kareem Hunt, with the latter leading the NFL in rushing yards as a rookie in 2017. He was promoted to offensive coordinator under head coach Andy Reid in 2018, winning Super Bowl LIV and Super Bowl LVII with the Chiefs. Bieniemy also served as the Washington Commanders assistant head coach and offensive coordinator in 2023 and the offensive coordinator for the UCLA Bruins in 2024 before joining the Bears as their running backs coach in 2025. In 2026, the Chiefs brought back Bieniemy to be their offensive coordinator again under head coach Andy Reid.
