Edmond Delfour (November 1, 1907 – 19 December, 1990) was a french football (soccer) player in midfielder role and manager. He was born in Ris-Orangis

He played for Viry-Châtillon, Draveil, Juvisy, Stade Français (1928-29), RC Paris (1929-37), RC Roubaix (1937-39), FC Rouen (1939-45) and Red Star Olympique (1945-46). He won two french national tournaments in 1936 and 1940 and one "Coupe de France" in 1936.

For France national football team he got 41 caps and participated at three edition of FIFA World Cup in 1930, 1934 and 1938, being one of five players to have appeared in all three of the pre-war World Cups. [The other players were Étienne Mattler, Nicolae Kovacs, Bernard Voorhoof and Patesko, according to official FIFA match reports. Patesko, however, is not listed in many sources as part of the 1930 Brazilian squad, shortening the list to four players.]

When he retired from playing football, he started his manager career in Belgium, with KAA La Gantoise, Union Saint-Gilloise, Cercle Brugge and FC Liège. After being a manager in Belgium for many years, he returned to France, and coached teams as Stade Français, Le Havre AC, SC Bastia and US Corte. He died in 1990, at the age of 82.
