Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Edward George Barnard (1778 – 14 June 1851)[1] was a British shipbuilder and Liberal Party politician.[2][3]

He was the son of William and Frances Barnard and baptised on 18 May 1778.[4] He was a member of the Barnard family of shipbuilders who had established themselves at Deptford on the River Thames.[5] He became very wealthy, and in 1824 he purchased Gosfield Hall and estate in Essex from the Marquess of Buckingham for 150,000 guineas.[6][7]

He was elected at the 1832 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament (MPs) for the newly enfranchised borough of Greenwich.[8][9] He was regarded as an "ultra-radical" who was in favour of the abolition of slavery, triennial parliaments, an ending of "taxes on knowledge" and the secret ballot.[8] He held the seat until his death at his family seat in 1851, aged 73.[1][8] He was buried in the family vault in Gosfield Parish Church on 21 June.[10]
