Edward John Hack (1 October 1913 – 20 September 1987), was a cricketer who played one first-class match for Somerset in 1937. He was born in Long Ashton, Somerset, England,

Hack batted at No 8 in the first Somerset innings of the match against Lancashire at Old Trafford, and did not bat in the second innings of a drawn game.{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/16/16213.html | title = Lancashire v Somerset |date = 1937-06-12 |publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | access-date = 2008-11-23}} Cricket websites agree that he batted right-handed, but do not indicate a bowling style: however, the record of a Somerset Second Eleven match from 1939 in which Hack took wickets suggests that he may have been an all-rounder.{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/17/17205.html | title = Glamorgan Second XI v Somerset Second XI |date = 1939-08-30 |publisher = www.cricketarchive.com | access-date = 2008-11-23}} In his one first-class match, he did not bowl. A book published in 2017 states that Hack was regarded in his club cricket career for Clevedon Cricket Club primarily as a batsman, and often opened the batting, but he did also bowl and, on occasion, he kept wicket.{{Cite book | title = Somerset Cricketers, 1919–1939|author1=Stephen Hill |author2=Barry Phillips | date = 18 September 2017| edition = 2017 | publisher = Halsgrove | isbn = 978-0-85704-306-1 | pages = 297–298}}
