Eberhard of Béthune (also known as Everard of Béthune, Évrard de Béthune, Éverard de Béthune, Ebrardus Bethuniensis or Bithuniensis, Eberhardus Bethuniensis, Eberard, Ebrard, Ebrad; d. c. 1212) was a Flemish grammarian of the early thirteenth century, from Arras. He was the author of ''Graecismus'', a popular Latin mnemonics, Latin grammatical poem, dated to c. 1212. The name came from a short section on the Greek language. His ''Laborintus'' is "an elaborate and critical treatise on poetry and pedagogics"; it is also known as ''De Miseriis Rectorum Scholarum''. He was also actively engaged against the Waldensians, and wrote a book ''Liber Antihaeresis'' (c 1210) against them. He is cited in ''Foxe's Book of Martyrs'' as to the etymology of the name.
