Charles Edwards (1825 – 22 February 1889)[1] was a British Liberal Party politician.

Edwards was elected MP for Windsor at a by-election in 1866—caused by Henry Hoare and Henry Labouchère being unseated when the 1865 general election was declared void on petition, due to bribery via election agents—and held the seat until 1868 when he did not seek re-election.[2][3]
