Edward Marjoribanks (14 February 1900 – 2 April 1932) was a barrister and Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom.
At the 1929 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Eastbourne in East Sussex, and held the seat at the 1931 general election. However he died in office on 2 April 1932, having committed suicide aged only 32, having been jilted for a second time.[1] He had just completed the first volume of a planned three-volume account of the trials of Sir Edward Carson; his last chapter being the Archer-Shee case. The work was finished by another author. At the resulting Eastbourne by-election, 1932, the Conservative candidate John Slater was returned unopposed.
His half-brother was Quintin Hogg.
He wrote a biography of Sir Edward Marshall Hall published under the following titles:
