Edmond Joseph Ramus (5 May 1822 – 1890) was a French etcher best known for his reproductions of paintings for art catalogues.

Ramus was born in Paris and first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1847.[1] He was a pupil of the etcher Léon Gaucherel. He was awarded a bronze medal in 1881.[1] He is listed as one of the contributors of eaux-fortes in the catalogue of objects for the palais de San Donato in 1880.[2] He worked extensively for the French magazine L'Art [fr]. Some of his most familiar works are the portraits of Napoléon III, the Empress Eugénie, and Léon Gambetta.
