The Cripps-Appiah-Edun family is a prominent political family. Of mixed origins, its members have been influential in Britain (where the Crippses hold a peerage and have provided a chancellor of the exchequer), Ghana (where the Appiahs hold a chieftaincy and have provided a permanent representative to the United Nations) and Nigeria (where the Eduns have held several chieftaincies and have provided a minister of finance).
