"Nice Guy Eddie" is a song by English Britpop band Sleeper, written by the band's vocalist and guitarist Louise Wener. It was the third single to be released from their second album, The It Girl. It peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Chart.[1]

While the tracks from The It Girl were being demoed, several tracks had working titles based on characters from Reservoir Dogs: Nice Guy Eddie is the only one that kept that name.[2]
