Edward Odom (born 1853) was an American politician and barber. He was elected to the Alabama House of Representatives in 1872, representing Barbour County. In 1874 his election, along with those of fellow Republicans Adam Gachet and A. E. Williams, was overturned by the House. He later testified about violent attacks on Republican voters in Eufaula, including arrests and jailings, and said Democrats disrupted Republican meetings and forced leaders to leave the area because of threats.
