Edward Gordon "Ned" Randolph, Jr. (February 1, 1942 – October 4, 2016), was an American Democratic politician who served as the mayor of Alexandria in central Louisiana from 1986 to 2006. Randolph was also a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1972 to 1976 and the Louisiana State Senate from 1976 to 1984. In 1982 and 1992, Randolph was an unsuccessful candidate for the United States House of Representatives, having lost to the incumbents Gillis William Long of Alexandria and Richard H. Baker of Baton Rouge, respectively.
Randolph was born in Alexandria to Edward G. Randolph, Sr. (1911–1996), and the former Edith Beatrice Harrison (1910–2005). He was reared mostly in Colfax, the seat of Grant Parish north of Alexandria. He graduated in 1960 from Bolton High School in the Alexandria Garden District and from Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1964. Thereafter, he obtained his law degree from Tulane University School of Law in New Orleans. Randolph served as a JAG officer in the United States Air Force and Louisiana Air National Guard from 1967-1971. At the conclusion of his military service, he began practicing law in Alexandria, but quickly entered elective politics.
