Edward James "Eddie" Hart (born April 24, 1949) is an American former track and field sprinter and Olympic champion in the men's 4 × 100 m relay race at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Born in Martinez, California, Hart won the 1970 NCAA University Division Outdoor Track and Field Championships over 100 yards as a University of California, Berkeley student. He also won the 4 × 110 yards relay title, but was later disqualified after his teammate Isaac Curtis was controversially found to be academically ineligible. At the US Olympic Trials in 1972, both Hart and Rey Robinson repeated the world record, running the 100 m in 9.9 seconds, and were favored to win the race at the Olympic Games.
