Edward John Thye (April 26 1896ndash August 28 1969) was an American politician for the state of Minnesota who served as a Republican.

Born in Frederick, South Dakota, he was elected the 31st Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota in 1942, and became the 26th Governor of Minnesota in 1943 when Governor Harold Stassen resigned to join the United States Navy. He was Governor from 1943 until 1947.

Thye was elected as a United States Senator in 1946 after defeating Henrik Shipstead in the Republican primary and defeating the Democratic candidate, Theodore Jorgenson, with 58.9% of the vote, and served in the Senate from January 3, 1947 to January 3, 1959 in the 80th, 81st, 82nd, 83rd, 84th, and 85th Congresses. He lost his reelection bid in 1958 to Eugene McCarthy.

He died in 1969 in Northfield, Minnesota, aged 73, and is buried at the Oaklawn Cemetery in Northfield, Minnesota.
