Edris Albert "Eddie" Hapgood (24 September 1908 – 20 April 1973) was an English footballer, who captained both Arsenal and England during the 1930s.

Initially a thin and fragile player, Arsenal's trainer Tom Whittaker forced him to take up weight training, and abandon his vegetarianism, and Hapgood eventually became known for his physique and power.

[3] He played 35 or more matches in every season in that period, earning a reputation as an elegant and unruffled defender; he even deputised as goalkeeper on two occasions when Frank Moss was injured.

Hapgood served in the Royal Air Force during the war, whilst also playing for Arsenal and England in unofficial matches.

[8] It was during the war that Hapgood fell out with the Arsenal management, after he was loaned out to Chelsea[9] and eventually left the club under a dark cloud.
