Edwin M. Carfrey (July 1863 – October 2, 1921) was an American baseball player. Carfrey had a career that spanned nearly 20 years in organized baseball. He played Major League Baseball for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1890. He also played minor league baseball for several teams from 1882 to 1899. He also participated in a December 1891 exhibition of indoor, winter baseball played with a hair-filled ball measuring 19 inches in diameter and with bats reportedly resembling cut-off broomsticks.
