Can you cast Eldritch Blast through a familiar?

No, you generally cannot directly cast Eldritch Blast through your familiar in D&D 5e because it's a ranged spell requiring line of sight and effect from you, not your familiar, though clever use of the Voice of the Chain Master invocation and the familiar's senses can enable attacking around corners, effectively creating a similar outcome. While some DMs might allow "curving" the spell with homebrew, RAW (Rules as Written) it needs a clear path from the Warlock to the target, but you can see through your familiar to find targets and aim, using its location as the origin point for targeting.

Can you cast through your familiar?
