Edward Graydon Carter (born 14 July 1949) is a Canadian-born American journalist and author. He is editor of Vanity Fair. He also co-founded, with Kurt Andersen, the satirical monthly magazine Spy in 1986.

Carter began his career at Time as a writer-trainee where he met Anderson. After Spy closed down, Carter would become Editor at the New York Observer before being invited to Vanity Fair to take over from Tina Brown who left for the New Yorker.

Carter's Vanity Fair has been notable for combining high-profile celebrity cover stories with serious journalism. His often idiosyncratic personal style was the subject of a book by former Vanity Fair contributing editor Toby Young, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People ISBN 0-306-81227-4.

Carter has identified himself as a libertarian: "I don't vote. I find both parties to be appalling and OK at the same time. I find it harder for anybody as they get older to feel 100 per cent strongly behind one party. There's lots more grey than when I was younger. I'm a libertarian."
