Ralph Edwin King Jr. (September 20, 1936 – July 4, 2026), better known as Ed King, was a United Methodist minister, civil rights activist and educator. He was a key figure in historic civil rights events taking place in Mississippi, including the Jackson Woolworth's sit-in of 1963 and the Freedom Summer project in 1964. King held the position of chaplain and dean of students, 1963–1967, at Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi. At this critical juncture of the civil rights movement, historian John Dittmer described King as "the most visible white activist in the Mississippi movement."
