Edward Charles Storm (October 2, 1907 – June 4, 1950) was an American professional football halfback and coach. From Salinas, California, he played college football for the Santa Clara Broncos for one season. Afterwards, he played professional football locally and then with a team in Memphis, Tennessee. He joined the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL) and played two seasons with them, being their leading passer in 1935. Storm later returned to California where he played for and coached a number of teams over the next decade.
Storm founded the Salinas Iceberg Packers, the first football team based in the city, and ran it for three seasons as a player-coach. He played for and coached multiple all-star teams and was head coach of the Oakland Oaks, the first professional team based in Oakland, in 1939. He became a player-coach for the San Diego Bombers of the Pacific Coast Professional Football League (PCFL) in 1941, coaching them for three seasons and playing in two, while leading them to two league championships. He then coached two other San Diego-based teams from 1944 to 1945 to conclude his career. He died in a car crash in 1950, at age 42.
