Eddie Hertzberger (17 October 1904 – 2 May 1993) was a wealthy Dutch industrialist and racecar driver.
His wife, Eleonore Hertzberger-Katz (born 1917), wrote a book about their hazardous journeys, which was reprinted in Dutch in June 2003.

He restricted his racing to England, France, Italy and Belgium, with motor racing in the Netherlands virtually non-existent, and Jews not allowed to participate in motor racing in Nazi Germany.
At Montlhéry, Hertzberger managed to break some speed records in his K3.
