Edward Hoyte Lyons (May 5, 1923 – January 25, 2009), nicknamed "Mouse", was a Major League Baseball second baseman who played for the Washington Senators in 1947.

Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Lyons signed a contract out of high school with the Washington Senators when he was 17. While in the minor leagues, his baseball career was interrupted by World War II when he joined the United States Navy. He made his Major League debut with the Washington Senators in 1947. He played 7 games at second base and hit .154 in his only season in the Major Leagues. When his playing career ended he became a manager for the Senators, Red Sox, and Cardinals organizations. His coaching career came to an end after a leg injury and he served as a scout, ending with the Chicago Cubs in 1995. He was inducted into the Winston-Salem Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998. After his retirement, he resided in Clemmons, North Carolina and died on January 25, 2009, in Winston-Salem.
