Edward Gal (Rheden, 4 maart 1970) is een Nederlands dressuurruiter. Hij nam tweemaal deel aan de Olympische Spelen en won hierbij één medaille.

Rond zijn veertiende jaar begon hij actief met paardrijden. Hij trainde aanvankelijk bij Rien van der Schaft. Later ging hij bij Anky van Grunsven trainen, die Edward samen met haar partner Sjef Janssen tot grotere prestaties bracht.

Samen met zakenpartner Nicole Werner, die ook altijd zijn vaste "oog" aan de kant is, richtte hij in 1996 een dressuurstal op, die gevestigd is te Harskamp (gemeente Ede).

Gals ruitercarrière kwam, na zijn hengst Lingh waar hij ook al aanzienlijke scores mee behaalde, in een stroomversnelling toen hij een combinatie ging vormen met de zwarte Gribaldi-zoon Moorlands Totilas.

Gals levenspartner is collega-dressuurruiter Hans Peter Minderhoud.
