Edward Pulsford (29 September 1844 – 29 September 1919) was an English-born Australian politician. Born in Staffordshire, he was educated privately before migrating to Australia in 1884. He became a journalist, and a financial editor with the Daily Telegraph, during which time he became known as a free trader. In 1895 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council. He remained there until 1901, when he was elected to the Australian Senate for New South Wales in the first federal election as a member of the Free Trade Party. He held the seat until his defeat in 1910. Pulsford died on his 75th birthday in 1919.[1][2]
