Edward Degener (October 20, 1809 – September 11, 1890) was a German-born American politician.
He was a Republican U.S.
Representative from Texas during the Reconstruction era. Originally from Germany, Degener moved to the United States and lived in Texas.
During the American Civil War, slave-holding Texas joined the Confederacy, but Degener remained loyal to the Union, and was persecuted by the Confederates for this loyalty to the U.S.
Two of Degener's sons were murdered by the Confederates in the Nueces massacre.
After the war ended, Degener served as a Republican congressman for the Texan 4th Congressional District and as a San Antonio city council member in the 1870s.
