Edmund Lacey (or Lacy; died 1455) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford and Bishop of Exeter in England.

Lacey was educated at University College, Oxford, where he was a mature commoner, then Fellow, and subsequently Master of the College from 1398 until around 1401.^[1] The College prospered and developed under him, as well as under John Appleton and John Castell who followed him.^[2]^[2]

In 1401 Lacey was appointed Canon of the ninth stall at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, a position he held until 1417.^[3]

Around 1414 Lacey was appointed Dean of the Chapel Royal, accompanying King Henry V to the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.^[4] He was elected to the see of Hereford between 21 January and 17 February 1417 and consecrated on 18 April 1417.^[5] He was then translated to the see of Exeter on 15 July 1420.^[6] While bishop at Exeter, Lacey promoted the cult of the Archangel Raphael, proclaiming the feast in his diocese in 1443, and working throughout England to institute the cult.^[7]

Lacey died on 18 September 1455.^[6]
