Ed 'Cheese' Barlow (born 27 January 1987) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Sydney Swans in the AFL. A tall utility player, he is expected to develop into a key-position player.

Barlow was originally from Tathra, New South Wales, representing his state in the under-15's which made him eligible for the Swan's pre-listing. He attended Scotch College, Melbourne as a boarder from 2003 to 2005. 2005 saw him as the sixth pick in the rookie draft after questioning whether to continue his football or focus on his professional ballet career. Given a second year on Sydney's rookie list after playing impressively in the reserves in 2006, he made the most of his chances when he played with the club's seniors towards the end of the 2007 season.

He debut came in round 20 against the Brisbane Lions and he racked up 18 possessions.

And he has since been promoted to the senior list for the 2008 season
