Edward Michael Melvin (né Milkovich; February 13, 1916 – July 30, 2004)[1] was an American professional basketball player. He played in the Basketball Association of America for the Pittsburgh Ironmen during the 1946–47 season.[1]

After his playing career, Melvin coached the St. Bonavanture Bonnies and Toledo Rockets men's basketball teams between 1947 and 1965.[2] In his 17 years as an NCAA Division I head coach, Melvin compiled an overall record of 222–179, including three consecutive conference regular season championships from 1950 to 1952.[2]

He was a southpaw;[3] Eddie Beachler of The Pittsburgh Press described his left-handed dribble and push-shot as "deceptive",[4] while Dan McGibbeny of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette several years after Melvin's retirement from playing recounted how he was "a sprightly lad with a rare ability to dribble left-handed for a full game."[5]

Melvin was of Serbian origin.[6][7] He legally changed his last name from Milkovich to Melvin in late 1951.[8]
