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.

He started out at non league side Nuneaton Borough before moving into the football league with Northampton Town. McGoldrick then 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 for Manchester City in 1996. The move was initially on loan, becoming permanent in on 18 October 1996 following a £300,000 transfer. McGoldrick joined the club amid a whirlwind of managerial changes. Initially signed on loan by caretaker-manager Asa Hartford, his permanent move was the only signing of Steve Coppell's 32 day reign,^[1] and he played under two more managers before the end of the season. McGoldrick spent two seasons with City, but was consigned to the reserves for much of his final season at the club, a loan spell at Stockport County providing his only first-team action for 1998. He retired from professional football in 1999, though he had short spells as manager of Corby Town in 2000 and Bashley in 2003.
