Ed Coleman (born 1949) is a radio reporter/host for the New York Mets on WFAN.

In the early 1990s he co-hosted WFAN's midday show with Dave Sims. The show was nicknamed the Coleman and the Soul Man. When the show was canceled he was reassigned as WFAN's New York Mets beat reporter. Ed's duties were expanded to being host of Mets Extra(and later fill in play by play) when former host Howie Rose was hired to do play by play for Mets and Islanders games on Sportschannel New York.

He also did some radio work for the 1988 and 1992 Summer Olympics, as well as the 1994 Winter Olympics. His big break came in 1982, when he was the sports announcer during morning drive at WCAP, Lowell, Massachusetts after a stint at the short-lived Enterprise Radio Network. Coleman became a beloved person in the Lowell community, where fans would line up outside the radio station as Coleman arrived at 6:13:30 for his 6:15:00 sports report.
