Edward James Conlin (September 2, 1933 – September 21, 2012) was an American basketball player and coach.

A 6'5" guard/forward from Fordham University, Conlin played in the National Basketball Association from 1955 to 1962 as a member of the Syracuse Nationals, Detroit Pistons, and Philadelphia Warriors. On February 13, 1959, Conlin was traded from Syracuse to Detroit for eventual hall-of-famer George Yardley.[1] He averaged 10.1 points per game in his NBA career.

Conlin returned to Fordham when he joined the coaching staff of Johnny Bach in 1967.[2] He assumed the position of head coach from 1968 to 1970.[2] Conlin was dismissed from the team in 1970 with a record of 27–24 during his two seasons.[3]

Conlin was inducted into the Fordham Athletic Hall of Fame in 1973 and his number 11 was retired by the team in 2004.[2]

Conlin died on September 21, 2012.[4]
