Robert Stafford Edwards (19 September 1828 – 29 March 1899) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman. The son of Joseph Holbeach Edwards, he was born at Chatham in September 1828. He was educated at Christ's Hospital, before going up to St John's College, Cambridge. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club while studying at Cambridge, making two appearances each in 1849 and 1850, playing twice against the Marylebone Cricket Club and once against Cambridge Town Club and Oxford University in The University Match, an appearance which gained him a cricket blue. He scored 106 runs in his four matches, with a highest score of 66 not out.
