Edward 'Eddie' Drohan (born 17 July 1876) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy and Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL) before becoming a coach.

Drohan made his debut for Fitzroy in 1898 and played in their premiership side that year as well as the following season. In both Grand Finals he played on a wing, the position he occupied for most of his career. He crossed to Collingwood in 1903 and finished the season as a member of another premiership winning side.

After retiring in 1908 he spent a couple of years as a field umpire before joining Melbourne as coach in 1910. He had little success, winning just four games for the season and in 1911 he was chosen to coach St Kilda. Again his side struggled, this time winning just two games.
