Edward of Savoy called the Liberal (* 1273, † November 4, 1329 ) was Count of Savoy and the eldest son Amadeus ' V.

Edward married on October 18, 1307 at Château de Montbard Blanche of Burgundy, daughter of Duke Robert II. Their only daughter, Anna married in 1329 John III. , Duke of Brittany.

1326 broke out in the countryside Maurienne at Arves a peasant revolt that Edward had to make 1327 the bishop and the farmers concessions, so his income from these lands halved temporarily. The epithet of Liberal Eduard received by its soft policy in his country, he granted the municipalities greater freedom. He could not afford to internal conflicts, since the military conflict continued with the Dauphin and Savoy here had to support the King of France.
