Edgar Rosenberg (ca. 1925 – August 14, 1987) was a British television producer who was also the husband of comedian/commentator Joan Rivers and the father of Melissa Rivers. His credits include Husbands, Wives & Lovers and The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers.

Rosenberg had been instrumental in helping his wife convince the newly-formed [FOX-TV] network to feature Rivers in a late-night TV talk show, competing directly against Rivers' former friend, Johnny Carson. Several months after FOX fired Rivers in early 1987, Rosenberg committed suicide on August 18, 1987 by overdosing on prescription pills. He suffered from clinical depression[citation needed], had been separated from Rivers for several weeks, and was recovering from a recent heart attack.
