C. Edward McVaney (December 29, 1940 – June 4, 2020) was an American entrepreneur and technology executive. In 1977, he was a co-founder and became the CEO of JD Edwards Corporation, an enterprise resource planning company. McVaney served in the Coalition Provisional Authority, in Baghdad, Iraq, with the U.S. Department of Defense starting in November 2003 in the Ministry of Transportation and later the Ministry of Interior.

In June 2003, JD Edwards arranged to be purchased by PeopleSoft for $1.8 billion. Oracle, within days, launched a hostile takeover bid for PeopleSoft with intent to exclude JD Edwards. PeopleSoft went ahead with the purchase of JD Edwards anyway, and in 2005, Oracle finally acquired the combined JD Edwards-PeopleSoft organization, bringing the JD Edwards WorldSoftware and EnterpriseOne product lines into the product portfolio of Oracle Corporation.

In 2016, McVaney became founder and chairman of the board at Nextworld.
