Edmund Leach Chadwick (31 August 1847 – 6 August 1918) was an English cricketer who played for Lancashire County Cricket Club. He appeared in 13 first-class matches as a right handed batsman, scoring 254 runs with a highest score of 42, and held two catches.[1]

Chadwick was born at Rochdale in 1847, the son of Thomas Chadwick, a woolen manufacturer from London who had been born in Scotland.[2][3] He was educated at Bruce Castle School in Tottenham and then at Marlborough College, although he did not play cricket for the college side.[4][5] He played club cricket for the Castleton club in Rochdale, including against the touring Australian Aboriginal side in 1868 and in 1875 made his first-class debut, playing for Lancashire against MCC at Lord's.[2][5]

Playing only occasionally for the county side when business allowed him to do so, Chadwick made 13 appearances for the side, with his final first-class match played in 1881.[1] In club cricket he scored 213 runs not out in a match for Castleton in 1877.[5] He was considered "in his day a very good batsman", although unable to establish himself at first-class level.[4]

Professionally Chadwick established a textile manufacturing business in Rochdale. By 1901 he was manufacturing flannel cloth. He married and had at least three children.[2][5] Chadwick died in 1918 at Parkstone in Dorset. He was aged 70.[6]
