The Battle of Eylau forms the early part of the novel ''[[The Schirmer Inheritance]]'' (1953) by [[Eric Ambler]]. The brutal battle and its immediate aftermath are depicted from the point of view of an ordinary soldier, a Prussian cavalry sergeant, who is severely wounded by a French saber in the later part of the confused fighting and whose only chance of saving his life is to desert and find shelter with Polish peasants in the neighborhood.

In the novel ''[[Le Colonel Chabert (novel)|Le Colonel Chabert]]'' of French author [[Honoré de Balzac]], Eylau is the battle where the colonel describes having been mistakenly reported as killed.

The Battle of Eylau was reconstructed in the home computer strategy game ''Napoleon at War'' released by [[Cases Computer Simulations|C.C.S.]] in 1986 and written by Ken Wright.

The second day of the battle was shown in the miniseries ''[[Napoléon (miniseries)|Napoléon]]''.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EbdMAAAAIBAJ&dq=%22Battle+of+Eylau%22&pg=PA2&article_id=3451,2512267 | title=Saint John Gazette }}</ref>
