Eduard Leonidovich Lazarev (Эдуа́рд Леони́дович Ла́зарев) is a Moldovan composer of Russian descent.

Lazarev arranged the State Anthem of the Moldavian SSR in 1980, with authorization of The First Secretary of the Moldavian Communist Party Ivan Bodiul.

In April 1979, Lazarev received a premiere at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow when he combined music with excerpts from speeches of Vladimir Lenin in the opera "Chemarea Revoluţiei" (The Call of the Revolution; also known as Leniniana), which lasted only nine performances. Between 1974 and 1983 he wrote Master and Margarita, a ballet in 8 acts. His second Piano Trio (1992) has been recorded by the Moscow Piano Trio.
