Edward Carnby is a fictional paranormal detective featured in the Alone in the Dark series of survival horror computer games created by Infogrames. He has been the main protagonist in every game to date, with the exception of the mini game, Jack in the Dark, which instead features Grace Saunders, a character who appears in Alone in the Dark 2. He is also the main character in the two movies loosely based on the games.

The Alone in the Dark series is widely credited as being one of the first "survival horror" games; a sub-genre that was later further populated by Capcom's Resident Evil and Konami's Silent Hill franchises.

Edward Carnby first appeared in the original Alone in the Dark game, as one of the two selectable characters, the other being Emily Hartwood. In the game, the player has to guide either Edward or Emily separately through a creepy mansion called Derceto, which was owned by Emily's uncle, Jeremy Hartwood, who committed suicide there. Battling against zombies, giant rats and ghosts, Carnby and Emily eventually encounter the ghost of the pirate Ezechiel Pregzt, and defeat it, before exiting the house. After this, Carnby would be referred to by journalists as the "Supernatural Private Eye".

Carnby next returned in Alone in the Dark 2. He goes to a mansion called Hell's Kitchen to investigate the kidnapping of a little girl named Grace Saunders, who had been taken hostage by the witch queen Elizabeth Jarret and her lover, One Eyed Jack, who lead a gang of pirates and built his mansion over where his ship was trapped. A detective called Ted Stryker had already taken up the investigation, only to be killed by a possessed clown, as seen in the game's intro scene when he tried to rescue Grace. During the investigation, Carnby happens across the body of his dead friend Stryker, and this motivates him to carry on with the investigation. Although Carnby is eventually captured, Grace is temporarily free to explore her surroundings and together, they unite to put an end to Elizabeth and One Eyed Jack, and flee in a rowing boat.

Edward Carnby has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
