Edward "Eddie" Pola (June 23, 1907 -November 3, 1995) was an actor, radio/television producer, and songwriter.

In the 1920s, Pola began to write songs. He scored England's first sound film, "Harmony Heaven," in 1929. Toward the end of the decade, he moved to the United States to produce dramatic radio programs, and continued as a producer, moving into television in the 1950s.

His most famous songs include:

* "I Didn't Slip, I Wasn't Pushed, I Fell" (co-written with George Wyle)
* "I Love the Way You Say 'Good Night'" (co-written with George Wyle)
* "I Said My Pajamas (and Put on My Pray'rs)" (co-written with George Wyle)
* "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" (co-written with George Wyle)
