Edgar Edward Cuthbert (June 20, 1845 – February 6, 1905) was an American professional baseball outfielder.

A solid batsman and outfielder, Ned jumped to the Chicago White Stockings in 1870.

The following year, he relinquished the managerial duties but continued with the Brown Stockings as a player before jumping to the Baltimore Monumentals of the ill-fated Union Association in 1884, his final season.

However, according to Peter Morris' "A Game Of Inches", base-stealing was part of baseball well before 1865; the earliest explicit account of stealing a base goes back to 1856.

Cuthbert died of endocarditis in St. Louis, Missouri, and was laid to rest at Bellefontaine Cemetery.
