Eduard Lasker (14 October 1829 – 5 January 1884) was a German politician and jurist.
Inspired by the French Revolution, he became a spokesman for liberalism and the leader of the left wing of the National Liberal party, which represented middle-class professionals and intellectuals.
He promoted the unification of Germany during the 1860s and played a major role in codification of the German legal code.
Lasker at first compromised with Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who later strenuously opposed Lasker regarding freedom of the press.
In 1881, Lasker left the National Liberal party and helped form the new German Free Thought Party.
