Abstract.   The object of this paper is to study η -Ricci solitons on ( ε ) -almost paracontact metric manifolds. We investigate η -Ricci solitons in the case when its potential vector field is exactly the characteristic vector field ξ of the ( ε ) -almost paracontact metric manifold and when the potential vector field is torse-forming. We also study Einstein-like and ( ε )-para Sasakian manifolds admitting η-Ricci solitons. Finally we obtain some results for η -Ricci solitons on ( ε )-almost paracontact metric manifolds with a special view towards parallel symmetric (0,2) -tensor fields.
