Eduard Götzl (18 February 1921 – 16 January 1986) was a German-Czech politician and party functionary of the Socialist Unity Party (SED).

He moved to the Soviet occupation zone after the war, where he became a SED functionary. He most notably served as First Secretary of the Bezirk Frankfurt (Oder) SED in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Götzl was however removed from office in August 1961 and only held minor positions afterwards.
