Edward Celestin Daly, O.P. (October 24, 1894 – November 23, 1964) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Des Moines from 1948 until his death in 1964.
Edward Daly was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to James and Elizabeth (née Cairns) Daly. He attended Boston College from 1912 to 1914, and made his profession as a member of the Order of Preachers (more commonly known as the Dominicans) in 1915. He studied philosophy and theology at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. At age 26, he was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop John T. McNicholas on June 12, 1921.
Daly then studied canon law at the Catholic University of America until 1923, when he became secretary and archivist of the Apostolic Delegation. During this period, he earned a Master of Sacred Theology from Rome in 1936 and also served as professor of canon law at the Dominican House of Studies.
