Edgar John Busch (November 16, 1917 – January 17, 1987) was a shortstop who played in Major League Baseball between the 1943 and 1945 seasons.

Busch started his professional career in 1938 in the St. Louis Browns minor league system, playing for them five years before being released in 1942.

He was signed by the Philadelphia Athletics organization in 1943, when the military draft was depleting Major League rosters of first-line players due to World War II.

A slick shortstop with good hands and a strong throwing arm, Busch was part of an infield that included Dick Siebert at first base, Irv Hall at second and George Kell at third.

In a 270-game career, Busch posted a .262 average (240-for-917), including 80 runs, 10 doubles, three triples, 75 RBI, seven stolen bases, and a .311 on-base percentage.
