Edward Duncan Ernest Gould (28 October 1988 – 25 March 2012) was a British animator, cartoonist, artist, and voice actor. He created Eddsworld, a flash animation and web comic franchise featuring fictionalised versions of himself and longtime collaborators Tom Ridgewell, Matt Hargreaves, Tord Larsson and others.

After Gould's death, production of Eddsworld was passed on to Ridgewell who directed a run of further episodes under the title of Eddsworld: Legacy. Following Ridgewell's departure from the series in 2016, it was passed to Hargreaves and Gould's family, returning in 2020 as Eddsworld Beyond.
