Edward Matheson (14 June 1865 – 26 February 1945) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket in single matches for the South of England cricket team in 1886 and for Warwickshire in 1899.[1] He was born at Charlton, Dover, Kent and died at Uffculme, Devon.
Matheson was the son of Reverend Charles Matheson, headmaster of the Clergy Orphan School in Canterbury; he was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, but he did not play in any senior cricket matches while at Cambridge University.[2] He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1886 and at the end of the cricket season for that year, he played in a single first-class cricket match for a team representing the South against the Australians, scoring 1 and 6.[3] He did little better in his only other match, a County Championship game for Warwickshire against Gloucestershire in 1899, in which he scored 9 and 5.[4]
Matheson was a schoolmaster and was on the teaching staff at Summer Fields School in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex.[5]
