Edward Hatoum (born December 7, 1947 in Beirut, Lebanon) is a retired ice hockey forward.

Hatoum was reunited with his family in Ottawa, Ontario in 1957 and began playing hockey after a few years living in the nation's capital.

The first player born in Lebanon to play in the NHL, Hatoum started his National Hockey League career with the Detroit Red Wings. He would also play with the Vancouver Canucks. His career would last from 1969 to 1971. He would also play with the Chicago Cougars of the World Hockey Association.
