Aaron Edwards (born March 2, 1984 in Samoa) is an Australian rules footballer for the North Melbourne Football Club.
Edwards began his AFL at West Coast, after being taken in the AFL rookie draft. After teammates were forced onto the long-term injury list, he was elevated from the rookie list for a few games at senior level.
Had an influential debut game in West Coast's victory against Richmond in Round 11, 2005.
A combination of less considerable performances in his following three games, along with knee surgery, found Edwards de-listed from West Coast at the end of the 2005 season.
In 2006 Edwards signed up with the Frankston Dolphins in the VFL.
Edwards had a sensational 2006 season with the Frankston Dolphins winning the Frosty Miller Medal for kicking the most goals in the home and away season. Described in the VFL record as the "Goalkicking Gladiator", he then reached his final tally of 100 goals in the Dolphins' semi-final. He also collected the J.J. Liston Trophy as the VFL's Best & Fairest player for 2006 with eighteen votes.
On November 25, 2006 the North Melbourne Football Club selected Aaron Edwards in the 2006 AFL Draft with their sixth round selection (82nd overall pick).
