Edwards A. Park (December 30, 1877 – July 11, 1969) was a pioneering American pediatrician who established the pediatric heart disease clicic at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, along with other pediatric subspecialties. During his career, Park was not only known as the Chief-of-Pediatrics of the Harriet Lane Home for two decades, but also a well-published researcher on medical conditions such as rickets and lead poisoning. The contemporary pediatric department at Hopkins is still regulated in the same way that Park had once established. The Edwards A. Park Scholarship Fund at Johns Hopkins was built under his name upon his eightieth birthday by friends, colleagues and former students.
