Edward Calvert (born circa late 1847 - early 1848; died 26 June 1914) was a Scottish domestic architect.

Calvert's work appears to have been exclusively confined to Edinburgh, and was mostly concerned with the creation of Baronial tenements (particularly in Marchmont) and villas in the Second Empire and Jacobean styles. He is responsible for a varied selection of villas in the vicinity of Colinton Road in Merchiston. He is also known to have designed modifications for at least one New Town building, in Abercromby Place, in 1899.
