"Who the Hell Is Edgar?" is a song by Austrian singers Teya and Salena. It was written by both vocalists of the song along with Ronald Janeček and Pele Loriano, and was released on 8 March 2023 through Warner Music Germany. The song represented Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, where it finished in 15th at the final with 120 points.
"Who the Hell is Edgar?" is described as a satire of the music industry, with it addressing measly wages per stream on online platforms and gender discrimination in the industry against women, connecting it to the recognition of American writer Edgar Allan Poe's work during his lifespan. It was well received by Eurovision and international media critics, praising the song's message and its musical composition. The song drew commercial success, peaking within the top five in the Netherlands along with its native country of Austria.
