Eduard "Edy" Hubacher (born 15 April 1940 in Bern) is a former Swiss sportsman who competed at both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

In the 1960s he competed as shot putter, discus thrower and decathlete. He still holds the current world best shot put (19.17 meters, 10 May 1969) within a decathlon. In the early 1970s, he switched to bobsledding. At the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, he won a gold in the four-man and a bronze in the two man events.
