Eduardo Lapi is a Venezuelan politician. He was Governor of Yaracuy for the National Convergence from 1995 to 2004. He lost to Carlos Eduardo Gimenez Colmenares (For Social Democracy) in the Venezuelan regional elections, 2004.

In 2008 Lapi was granted asylum in Peru, after escaping prison in Venezuela. He had been charged with corruption, and said that he feared he would not receive a fair trial.[2] Lapi's attempt to run again for Governor of Yaracuy in the Venezuelan regional elections, 2008 was aborted by a Supreme Court declaration that he needed to be resident in the country to do so.[3]
