Edward Joseph Cole (born May 24, 1963) is an American golfer from Antioch, Illinois. He was born in Olongapo City, Philippine Islands. His family moved to Long Beach, California on May 28, 1963.

He attended the University of Notre Dame and was a four time academic All-American.

After graduating from Notre Dame, he attended law school at The University of Chicago while also clerking for the prestigious law firm of Winston & Strawn. Cole decided that the legal arena was not his true calling and gave up a promising career in corporate law to play professional golf.

In 1989 he moved back to Long Beach, California and pursued his dream of playing professionally. He eventually went through the PGA Qualifying School and gained partial exemption on the Ben Hogan Tour (now known as the Nationwide Tour). Cole's most significant accomplishment to date is playing in the 1990 US Open at Medinah Country Club. He has also played in 6 PGA Tour events (1989 Greater Milwaukee Open, 1989 Western Open, 1990 Greater Milwaukee Open, 1990 Shearson Lehman Hutton Open, 1990 Western Open, 1990 Hardee's Classic).
