Saburō Eda (江田 三郎, Eda Saburō; July 29, 1907 – May 22, 1977) was a Japanese party politician, prominent in the postwar period, who served two terms in the Member of the House of Councillors and four terms in the Member of the House of Representatives, and rose to become the Secretary General and Acting Chairman of the Japan Socialist Party in the early 1960s. Eda's optimistic "Eda Vision" of a broad-based, moderate form of socialism briefly won acclaim from the Japanese mass media before being beaten back by hardliners in the left wing of the party. He was the father of Japanese politician Satsuki Eda.
