Sir Edward Guildford (alternative spelling Guilford) (c. 1474 - 1534) was an English courtier and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and Marshal of Calais in 1519.
Edward was born at Offington in the parish of Broadwater (now part of Worthing), the son of Richard Guildford and Anne De Pympe.
Guildford married Eleanor West, daughter of Thomas West, 8th Baron De La Warr and Elizabeth Mortimer, and was the father of Jane Guildford who married John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland. His son Richard having predeceased him, Edward Guildford caused considerable strife with the family legacy when his daughter Jane inherited Haldon Manor rather than his nephew, John Guildford, Member of Parliament for Gatton, who was (arguably) instead intended to inherit with no nearer male heir.
