Edward Price[1] (born November 22, 1982)[2][3] is an American diplomat, political advisor and former intelligence officer who serves as the deputy to the United States Ambassador to the United Nations since February 29, 2024.[†][4] In this role, he is considered a Deputy Cabinet Secretary and is a sitting member of the National Security Council's Deputies Committee.[5] He previously served as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of State from 2023 to 2024 and the Spokesperson for the United States Department of State from 2021 to 2023. He worked at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from 2006 until 2017.

In February 2017, Price published a controversial op-ed piece in The Washington Post,[6][7][8] outlining his decision to retire from the CIA rather than work in the Trump administration.[9][10][11][12]
