Edward Paul Runge (May 12, 1918 – July 25, 2002) was an American professional baseball umpire.

Runge's first professional umpiring experience came in the Big State League in Texas in 1947.

After his retirement, Runge said of umpiring, "It's the only occupation where a man has to be perfect his first day on the job and then improve over the years."

As the right field umpire, Runge made a critical foul ball call in the fourth inning on a potential home run hit by Duke Snider.

In retirement, Runge served as a community liaison and speaker for the San Diego Padres.
