Eddie Lovett (born June 25, 1992) is an American born U.S. Virgin Islander sprinter who specializes in the 110 metres hurdles. He currently attends the University of Florida.

Lovett won a gold medal in the 110 metres hurdles at the 2011 Pan American Junior Athletics Championships in Miramar, Florida. He set a new championship record with 13.14 sec, a significant improvement to the previous record of 13.45, set in 2005 by Dayron Robles. It is the second fastest time ever by a junior hurdler, behind only Wayne Davis (13.08 sec).

A native of Miami, Florida, Lovett attended Palm Beach Lakes Community High School in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he also was a highly touted football prospect, playing wide receiver and defensive back. However, he broke his arm early into his senior season, effectively ending his football career. He headed to UF on a track scholarship instead.

At the 2010 Florida Class 3A state meet, he ran 13.46 in the 110 m hurdles and broke a state record originally established by Philip Riley (13.59 s) of Orlando-Jones High School in 1990. He was an All-USA high school track and field team selection by USA Today in July 2010. Eddie Lovett is also a member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, having joined at Zeta Kappa chapter at the University of Florida.

He won a gold medal in Kazan Russia at the 2013 Summer Universiade in a National Record time of 13.43. Eddie is currently managed by World Express Sports Management.
