Torpedo is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and animated series. He is the G.I. Joe Team's original SEAL and debuted in 1983.

His real name is Edward W. Leialoha, and his rank is that of navy warrant officer WO-4. Torpedo was born in Aiea, Hawaii. His primary military specialty is Navy SEAL (Sea, Air & Land) and his secondary military specialty is demolitions.

Torpedo was originally a scuba instructor and also achieved black belts in the martial arts Wu-Shu, Kenpō and Go-Ju-Ryu by age 19, and is skilled with wielding the Balisong. His training records after completing SEAL school are classified, but he is a qualified expert in most small arms used by NATO as well as explosive devices used by both NATO and Warsaw Pact nations. Torpedo keeps a strict vegetarian diet and continues to spend time perfecting his fighting skills and marksmanship in his off-duty hours. His teammates recognize him as a very competent professional, but they also say his personality is like a cold fish.

Writer Larry Hama gave him his file name after Steve Leialoha.

Torpedo (G.I. Joe) has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
