Edgar Nakladal (born 6 July 1961) was a professional sprinter representing West Germany. At the inaugural IAAF World Championships in Athletics in 1983, he won the silver medal in the 4 × 400 m by virtue of running for his team in the preliminary rounds. Though he didn't run in the final at Worlds, he did run in the final and win the 4 × 400 m at the 1982 European Championships in Athletics and the 1979 European Junior Championships in Athletics.[1]

His personal best in the 400 m was 45.97 seconds, which he set in Bremen, Germany on June 24, 1983.[1] At the 1983 Worlds, he became one of the first athletes ever to be substituted out of a final and still receive a medal.[2]
