Edward Joseph Flanigan (October 19, 1874 – December 13, 1932) was an American justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona from September 28, 1921 to January 1, 1923. Flanigan served as deputy district attorney for Cochise County.[1]

Flanigan ran as the Republican nominee for Supreme Court Justice in 1920 and lost against Democratic incumbent Archibald G. McAlister.[2] Governor Thomas Edward Campbell then appointed Flanigan to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Albert C. Baker.[3] Flanigan did not run for re-election and Frank H. Lyman won the 1922 election unopposed.[4] He died in a traffic collision in 1932.[5][6]
