Edward Wallis Hoch (March 17, 1849 - June 1, 1925) was seventeenth Governor of Kansas.

Hoch was born in Danville, Kentucky. He moved to Kansas in 1871, and bought the Marion County Record newspaper in 1874.

Hoch served two terms in the Kansas House of Representatives (1889-91 and 1893-95). He was elected governor in 1905 and reelected in 1907. After leaving office, he lectured on the Chautauqua circuit, and continued as publisher of the Record until his death in 1925.
