Édgar Sosa (born January 15, 1988) is a Dominican professional basketball player for Sporting Al Riyadi Beirut of the Lebanese Basketball League. He played college basketball for Louisville.
Sosa played high school basketball at Rice High School in New York City where he received all-American honors. His high school teammates include Curtis Kelly (Kansas State) and Kashif Pratt (Seton Hall). He played under the coaching of Maurice Hicks.
As a freshman at Louisville playing with Derrick Caracter, Earl Clark and Jerry Smith, the young group struggled early in the 2006–07 season. The team went on to win 8 out of its last 10 games, earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament. In the second round of the NCAA Tournament against Texas A&M, Édgar scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. He shot 15 for 17 from the line and 7 for 9 from the field. Sosa shot 15 for 15 on free throws to start the game, but missed his final two, as Texas A&M won the game.
On January 4, 2009, Sosa hit a game winning 25 footer over Michael Porter, Kentucky's point guard. That season, Sosa helped lead the Cardinals to the Elite Eight, where they lost to Michigan State.
In his four-year career at Louisville, Sosa played 140 games and averaged 9.7 points per game.
After going undrafted in the 2010 NBA draft, Sosa joined the Detroit Pistons for the 2010 NBA Summer League. He later signed with Italian Serie A team Angelico Biella for the 2010–11 season.
