Edgar Hull, Jr. (February 20, 1904 – October 24, 1984), was a physician from Louisiana and in 1931 a founding faculty member of the Louisiana State University Medical Center in New Orleans. In 1966, he became the first Dean of the Louisiana State University School of Medicine at Shreveport (now the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport). After his retirement, Hull contradicted the historian T. Harry Williams' account of the assassination and death of Governor and U.S. Senator Huey Long.
Hull was born in Pascagoula in Jackson County in southern Mississippi, the son of Edgar Hull, Sr., and the former Alice Christine Rourke. He graduated from Pascagoula High School and studied pre-medicine from 1920–1921 and 1922-1923 at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. In between those years, he was a temporary schoolteacher at Bayou Cassotte in Jackson County, Mississippi. From 1923-1927, Hull attended the Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, from which he received his medical credentials. Hull then interned at the 108-bed Highland Sanitarium in Shreveport, the seat of Caddo Parish in northwestern Louisiana. He stayed there for only six months before launching a private practice from 1929 to 1931 in Pleasant Hill in DeSoto Parish.
