Edward John Paul "Eddie" McGoldrick (b. 30 April 1965, Islington) is a former Irish footballer whose clubs included most notably Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Manchester City. He was also capped at international level for the Republic of Ireland; he was a member of Ireland's 1994 World Cup squad though he did not play in the tournament.

After starting out at Northampton Town, McGoldrick had a successful spell at Crystal Palace where he played 147 times, scoring 11 goals; he is best remembered by Palace fans for the cross that set up Ian Wright's goal to secure promotion to the First Division in Palace's 4-3 aggregate victory over Blackburn Rovers in the 1988-89 Second Division playoff final. He also won a Zenith Data Systems Cup winners medal in 1990-91.

McGoldrick moved to Arsenal in 1993, linking up with Wright once again, and made his debut in the Charity Shield against Manchester United on 7 August 1993. However, his time there was less successful; after playing 38 games in the 1993-94 season, including a substitute appearance in Arsenal's European Cup Winners' Cup final win over Parma, he was less of a regular the following season, and in 1995-96 he played only one match. In all he played 57 times for Arsenal, scoring one goal. He left Arsenal in 1996 for Manchester City on loan but he soon made that a permanent move with a £300,000 transfer in October 1996. McGoldrick spent two seasons with City, before a loan spell at Stockport County in 1998. He retired from professional football in 1999, though he had a short spell as player-manager of Corby Town in 2000.
