Edogawadai (江戸川台) is a district of the city of Nagareyama, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Edogawadai is about 10 minutes by train from Kashiwa via the Tōbu Noda Line from Edogawadai Station and commuters into Tokyo only have to change trains once, making the town convenient for Tokyo-based workers.

Since the opening of the University of Tokyo's Kashiwa campus and the related development of Kashiwanoha, the population of this area has grown. The university campus is an approximate 25-minute walk from the centre of Edogawadai. The station lies roughly in the centre of the town, with the railway delineating the boundary between edogawdaihigashi and edogawdainishi (east and west Edogawdai respectively) and several shops surround the station. A multitude of restaurants line the road between the station and the university campus.
