Edward Christian "Ed" Sullivan (born April 1933 in Middleburgh, New York) is a Democratic Party politician from Manhattan who represented the Upper West Side's 69th district in the New York State Assembly from 1977 to 2002.

A resident of New York City since 1957, Sullivan attended the Sorbonne in Paris, and graduated from the New School University in 1968 with a M.A. in Political Science.

Fluent in French, he used his language skills to help others adjust to their new society, teaching English as a Second Language for 15 years at New York University, City University of New York, and other institutions.

Eventually, his passion for education led him to activism and advocacy — and a run for the New York State Assembly. He was elected in 1976 and served for 26 years before retiring at the end of 2002. In the Assembly, he served for a time as Chairman of the Higher Education Committee. Sullivan's seat in the New York State Assembly was filled by Daniel O'Donnell.

Sullivan is the father of actress/comedian Nicole Sullivan, who appeared on "MADtv" as well as on "The King of Queens".
