Edward Edgar "Anzac" Fisher (11 July 1887 – 24 January 1954) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda and Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Fisher was a strong, courageous ruck-rover who came to the Tigers as a result of serving with several Richmond players during the First World War. Fisher was in the A.I.F. for the duration of World War One, firstly at Gallipoli and then in France, hence his nickname "Anzac".[2]
