Edgar Neville Romrée, Count of Berlanga de Duero (December 28, 1899 – April 23,1967) was a Spanish hockey player, playwright and film director, a member of the "other" Generation of '27..

He was a member of the Spanish National Team at the European Championships in 1924 and 1926, playing in a total of five games and scoring two goals. Neville played club hockey for the Azul Hockey Club and was also a member of the touring Hockey Club Madrid.

Neville was born in Madrid but lived in Hollywood in the 1930s, in the period of the dubbed Spanish versions of the studios' English-language films. He wrote dialogue for MGM's Spanish language films, and won acclaim for his script adapted from George Hill's The Big House (1930).

During the Spanish Civil War, Neville made a few short propaganda films for the Nationalist side. He also made three movies in Rome. The films he directed in the 1940s and 1950s mixed realism and romanticism, but did not perform particularly well at the box-office.
