Edward Vincent Dargin (April 25, 1898—April 20, 1981) was an American clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of New York from 1953 to 1973.
Edward Dargin was born in New York City, one of four children. He graduated from Fordham University in 1919, and completed his theological studies at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers. He earned a Doctor of Canon Law degree from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Patrick Joseph Hayes on September 23, 1922.
He served for some time as assistant chancellor of the Archdiocese of New York, and was assigned as a curate at Cold Spring in 1929. He was pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Croton Falls from 1934 to 1940. At that time, he was the youngest pastor in the Archdiocese. In 1935, he declared that the statements and activities of Father Charles Coughlin in the "arena of politics" constituted "direct violations of existing canon law."
