Eustace de Balliol (died 1274), Baron of Kirklington, Sheriff of Cumberland and Governor of Carlisle Castle was an English knight.

He was a younger son of Hugh de Balliol and Cecily de Fontaines. Eustace served as the Sheriff of Cumberland and the Governor of Carlisle Castle from October 1261 until 1265. Eustace married Helewise, daughter of Ranulph de Lexington and Ada de Gernon.[2] He took the cross in 1271 and went on crusade in the Holy Land, as part of Lord Edward's crusade. He returned and learned that his wife Helewise had died. [Eustace married secondly Agnes, daughter of William de Percy and Joan Briwere] [Seems to be a different Eustace who married her].

He died in 1274 and had no surviving issue.

Eustace appears to have been still living in 1278, when he was "defendant in a plea of trespass in 6 Edward 1."[1]
