Edward James Slattery (born August 11, 1940) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as bishop of Tulsa from 1993 to 2016.

The second of seven children, Edward Slattery was born in Chicago, Illinois, to William Edward and Winifred Margaret (née Brennan) Slattery; both his paternal and maternal grandparents emigrated to the United States from Ireland. After attending Visitation of the BVM Grade School and Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary, he studied at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary, from where he obtained Bachelor of Arts and Master of Divinity degrees.

Slattery was ordained to the priesthood by John Cardinal Cody on April 26, 1966, and then served as associate pastor of St. Jude the Apostle Parish in South Holland until 1971. During this time, he also earned a Master's degree from Loyola University. He was Vice-President (1971–76) and President (1976–94) of the Catholic Church Extension Society, a Chicago-based funding agency for the American home missions. While working at Extension, he was named associate pastor at the inner-city Hispanic parish of St. Rose of Lima on the south side of Chicago in 1973. He later served as pastor of St. Rose of Lima from 1976 to 1989.
