Edward Cowell (22 March 1848 — 17 November 1885) was an English first-class cricketer.

Cowell was born at Cambridge in March 1848. He played first-class cricket for Cambridgeshire in 1867, making two appearances against Nottinghamshire and one appearance against Yorkshire. A right-arm roundarm fast bowler, he took 4 wickets with best figures of 3 for 11. As a batsman, he scored 37 runs with a highest score of 13. It was noted by Fred Lillywhite that Cowell was a strong fielder at mid-on.

Cowell died at Cambridge in November 1885.
