Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Edward Charles Close (21 January 1825 – 19 February 1887) was an Australian politician.[1]

He was born at Morpeth to Sophia Susannah Palmer and Edward Charles Close, who was a British soldier and member of the New South Wales Legislative Council.[2] On 2 January 1837 he laid the foundation stones of St James's Church of England in Morpeth. He was a pastoralist and landowner and on 24 July 1847 married Louisa Slade Platt, with whom he had four children.[3]

In 1859 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Morpeth, but resigned in 1860, later stating that he did so because it had been a lengthy session of parliament, marked by a contest for power between Charles Cowper, William Forster and John Robertson in which nothing was done.[4] He successfully contested the Morpeth by-election in 1862 before retiring again in 1864.[5]
