Edward Fredrick Fisher (October 31, 1876 - July 24, 1951) was a Major League Baseball pitcher. He appeared in one game for the Detroit Tigers near the end of the 1912 season. The 6'2", 200 lb. right-hander was a native of Wayne, Michigan.

On September 5, 1912 Fisher pitched the last four innings of a 15-1 home loss against the Baltimore Orioles and did a great job. He allowed five runs, but none of them were earned runs, so his lifetime ERA stands at 0.00.

One of his teammates was second baseman Kid Gleason, who would go on to become the manager of the infamous 1919 Chicago White Sox (Black Sox).

Fisher passed away at the age of 74 in Spokane, Washington.
