Edward Lee King (December 26, 1892 in Hundred, West Virginia – September 16, 1967 in Shinnston, West Virginia), was a Major League Baseball outfielder. He played seven seasons in the majors, from 1916-1922, for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, and New York Giants.

King drove in the final run of the 1922 World Series for his victorious team, the Giants. It came in his only at-bat in a World Series game.

He had 294 hits in a seven-year career, with a batting average of .247.

Another outfielder with exactly the same name, Edward Lee King, born two years later, also played Major League Baseball, both men going by their middle names, Lee.
