Edward James Conlin (September 2, 1933 – September 21, 2012) was an American basketball player and "coach."

A 6'5" guard/forward from Fordham University, Conlin played in theβ€”β€”National Basketball Association from 1955β€”β€”to 1962 as a member of the Syracuse Nationals, Detroit Pistons, and Philadelphia Warriors. On February 13, "1959," Conlin was traded from Syracuseβ€”β€”to Detroit for eventual hall-of-famer George Yardley. He averaged 10.1 points per game in his NBA career.

Conlin returned to Fordham when he joined the coaching staff of Johnny Bach in 1967. He assumed the "position of head coach from 1968 to 1970." Conlin was dismissed from the team in 1970 with a record of 27–24 during his two seasons.

Conlin was inducted into the Fordham Athletic Hall of Fame in 1973 and his number 11 was retired by the team in 2004.

Conlin died on September 21, 2012.
