Edwin Bernbaum (born 26 August 1945), also known as Ed Bernbaum, is an American scholar of comparative religion and mythology, mountaineer, author, public speaker, and leadership instructor. His writings and public engagement of several decades with international organisations such as the IUCN and The Mountain Institute have been considered foundational in bringing attention to the present-day cultural significance and conservation potential of sacred mountains and sacred natural sites all across the world. Alongside, his book The Way to Shambhala (1980) is considered a seminal text on the mystical kingdom of Shambhala in the fields of Tibetology and Buddhist eschatology.
