Edward Calland (15 June 1932 – 25 May 1995) was an English professional footballer who played as a centre-forward. He scored 76 goals in 171 league games in a ten-year career in the Football League with Fulham, Torquay United, Exeter City, Port Vale, and Lincoln City. His brothers Ralph and Albert also played professional football.
Calland joined Bill Dodgin's Fulham in April 1952 from Northern League club Durham City. He was unable to break into the Fulham first-team and left Craven Cottage in September 1952, joining Torquay United on a free transfer, linking up with his older brothers Ralph and Albert. His league debut came in the 1952–53 season, and although not a first-team regular he managed to score 21 goals in 47 Third Division South games for Eric Webber's "Gulls". The Plainmoor side finished in mid-table in 1952–53, 1953–54, 1954–55 and 1955–56, before finishing in second place in 1956–57 – behind champions Ipswich Town on goal average.
