Eugène Alphonse Dyer (December 12, 1838 – December 2, 1911) was a merchant, farmer and political figure in Quebec. He represented Brome in the House of Commons of Canada from 1891 to 1896 as a Conservative member.
He was born in Sutton, Lower Canada, the son of George C. Dyer. Dyer served on the council for Sutton and was mayor and county warden.
