Ed Servais is an American college baseball coach, currently the head coach of the NCAA Division I Creighton Bluejays. Servais has held the position since the start of the 2004 season. Under him, Creighton has appeared in four NCAA Tournaments.
Servais's first college coaching position was with Division III Saint Mary's (MN), where he served as an assistant from 1984–1986. Following the 1986 season, he was hired by NAIA member Viterbo to start the school's baseball program. The team went 23–6 in 1988, its first season.
Following one season at Viterbo, Servais was rehired by Saint Mary's to serve as the program's head coach. He held the position for seven seasons (1989–1995) and had an overall record of 159–76–1. Saint Mary's qualified for the 1993 NCAA Division III Tournament, where it finished as the runner-up in the Midwest Regional. In both 1990 and 1993, Servais was named the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.
Prior to the start of the 1996 season, Servais was hired as an Iowa State assistant coach, his first Division I coaching position. He served as an assistant to head coach Lyle Smith for two seasons (1996–1997).
From 1998–2003, Servais was an assistant and infield coach at Creighton under head coach Jack Dahm. While he was an assistant, Creighton appeared in two NCAA Tournaments (1999 and 2000).
