Ed McCurdy (January 11, 1919 - March 23, 2000) was a folk singer, songwriter, and television actor. He is probably best known for his widely-covered anti-war classic, "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream".

Born to a farming family in Willow Hill, Pennsylvania, McCurdy left home at 18 to pursue a singing career. He recorded several albums in the 1950s and 60s, and performed several times at the legendary Newport Folk Festival, but was eventually outshadowed by a younger generation of singers. He moved to Nova Scotia and had a second career as a character actor on Canadian television.
