Eurocom (oorspronkelijk Eurocom Entertainment Software) was een computerspelontwikkelaar gevestigd in het Britse Derby. Het werd in oktober 1988 opgericht door Mat Sneap, Chris Shrigley, Hugh Binns, Tim Rogers and Neil Baldwin. In eerste instantie ontwikkelde het bedrijf spellen voor de Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Later richtte het zich ook op de markt van draagbare spelcomputers en andere spelcomputers.
Het bedrijf porteerde ook diverse arcadespellen naar consoles en nam later licenties op beroemde films om met die verhaallijnen en personages spellen te ontwikkelen waaronder Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, Batman Begins en enkele spellen gebaseerd op James Bond.
Op 23 november 2012 werd het bedrijf grondig geherstructureerd waardoor 75% van het personeel werd ontslagen, zodat er nog zo'n 50 werknemers in dienst bleven.[1] Op 6 december 2012 ging het bedrijf bankroet.[2][3]
