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.Mathematics Subject Classification: 53C15, 53C25, 53C40, 53C42, 53C50.
