Edward Dean Winter (June 3, 1937March 8, 2001) was an American actor.

Born in Ventura, California, Winter is perhaps most well-known for his role as Military Intelligence officer Colonel Flagg on the television series "M*A*S*H". As Flagg, Winter became one of the program's more memorable and popular recurring characters; he appeared in seven episodes as Flagg during the show's 11-year run. Prior to his introduction as Lt. Col. Flagg, Winter had also appeared on the series as Captain Halloran. A number of fans have expressed the belief that Captain Halloran might have been one of Flagg's many aliases, especially as he said to Dr. Freedman, "We played poker once"—which Captain Halloran did.

Another memorable role was as the corrupt Senator Gebhardt in the 1983 movie "". He also appeared in From the Hip, also directed by Porky's director Bob Clark.

Before he was cast on "M*A*S*H", Winter appeared on the daytime serials "The Secret Storm" and "Somerset". He also starred in the NBC primetime drama "Project UFO" and was featured in the film "A Change of Seasons".

Winter was also a recurring character on the primetime 1970s sitcom "Soap", portraying Congressman Walter McCallum, who was in a relationship with Chester and Jessica Tate's daughter Eunice.

Winter was twice nominated for Tony Awards as Best Supporting or Featured Actor (Musical). The first was in 1967, as Herr Ludwig in "Cabaret"; then in 1969, as J.D. Sheldrake in "Promises, Promises".

Winter appeared on a 1991 episode of the TV series Night Court as Clarence Egan.

Winter died in Woodland Hills, California, due to complications from Parkinson's disease.
