This article is about the former city name of Tokyo. For the Nigerian state or language, see Edo State or Edo language

Edo (Japanese: 江戸, literally: bay-door, "estuary", pronounced //), once also spelled Yedo or Yeddo, is the former name of the Japanese capital Tokyo. While there had been early settlements on the hills at Tokyo Bay for several centuries, the first major event in the history of Edo was the building of the Edo Castle in 1457 by Ōta Dōkan.

The Tokugawa shogunate was established in 1603 with Edo as its seat of government (de facto capital). The emperor's residence, and formal capital, remained in Kyoto; that city had been the actual capital of Japan until that time.
