General Sir Edward Kerrison, 1st Baronet KCB GCH (30 July 1776 – 9 March 1853) was a British Army officer and politician.

Kerrison was a lieutenant-lolonel in the 7th Light Dragoons, saw service during the Peninsular War and commanded his regiment at the Battle of Waterloo.[1]

Along with Charles Wetherell, he petitioned parliament over electoral malpractice in the parliamentary elections for Shaftesbury, Dorset.[2]

Kerrison was the only son of Matthias Kerrison (1742–1827), who was a prosperous merchant and property investor, and his wife, Mary née Barnes. He was born at his father's property, Hoxne Hall, near Bungay, Suffolk, on 30 July 1776.[3]
