Sir Edmund (or Edward) Pelham (c.1533 – 1606) was a member of the Pelham family of Laughton, East Sussex. He was a judge in Ireland who held the office of Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, and was the first judge to hold assizes in Ulster.
His career suffered due to suspicions that he was secretly a Roman Catholic. These suspicions were due partly to his marriage into a recusant family, and partly due to the open indifference which both he and his wife showed to the Anglican faith.
