Alex Edwards was a Scottish footballer who played as a winger for Dunfermline, Hibernian and Arbroath.
Jock Stein gave Edwards his league debut just five days after his 16th birthday in March 1962, which made him the second-youngest outfield player (after Andy Penman of Dundee) to play in a Scottish Football League match. He then featured as a 16-year-old in Dunfermline's famous 6–2 home victory against Valencia in 1962. He went on to play for Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup finals of 1965 and 1968, winning the latter.
