Eduardo 'Edu' Bedia Peláez (born 23 March 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Gimnástica de Torrelavega.

## Club career
### Spain and Germany

Born in Santander, Cantabria, Bedia was a product of his hometown club Racing de Santander's youth ranks, making his first-team (and La Liga) debut on 24 September 2008 by starting and playing the first half of a 2–0 away loss against Villarreal CF. In a season where the main squad eventually escaped relegation while still having to appear in the UEFA Cup, he managed to take part in a further 16 competitive games, scoring goals against FC Honka and Real Murcia, the former in European competition.
In January 2011, Bedia was loaned to UD Salamanca of the Segunda División, totalling 1,119 minutes during his five-month spell but suffering relegation. Subsequently, returned to Racing and the top flight, he met the same fate at the end of the campaign.
Bedia continued in the second division the following years, with Hércules CF and FC Barcelona Atlètic. On 16 June 2014, both he and Barça B teammate Ilie Sánchez signed with TSV 1860 Munich of the German 2. Bundesliga.
On 13 July 2015, Bedia signed a two-year deal with Real Oviedo, newly promoted to the second tier. On 19 January 2017, he moved to Real Zaragoza in the same league.

### Goa

On 2 September 2017, Bedia joined Indian Super League franchise FC Goa on a two-year contract. In his second season, he scored seven goals as the side reached the final; this put him fifth on the scoring charts led by his compatriot and teammate Coro.
In June 2020, Bedia signed a new two-year deal. He was appointed as captain ahead of that season, and represented them in the 2021 edition of the AFC Champions League, scoring in a 2–1 defeat at Persepolis F.C. on 20 April; in the process, he became the first player to achieve this feat for an Indian club in the competition's group stage.
Bedia appeared with his side in the 2021 Durand Cup: in the semi-finals, he was named player of the match as they defeated Bengaluru FC 7–6 in sudden death. In the decisive game, against Mohammedan SC on 3 October, he scored the lone goal through an extra-time free kick.

### Gokulam Kerala

On 29 August 2023, I-League club Gokulam Kerala FC announced the signing of Bedia on a one-year contract.
