Edward Goldenberg CM (born 1948), known as Eddie Goldenberg, is a Canadian lawyer and writer who served as a senior advisor to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien for decades.

Along with Jean Pelletier and Aline Chrétien, he was considered Chrétien's most influential political guide. Goldenberg's 2006 memoir, The Way It Works, focused on his time in government. He is the son of former Canadian Senator and lawyer H. Carl Goldenberg.
