Edward Sullivan (18 August 1832 – 6 January 1899) was a Canadian Anglican priest.[1]

Sullivan was the son of a Wesleyan minister and was born in Lurgan, County Armagh, Northern Ireland in 1832. He attended grammar school at Clonmel in County Tipperary and went on to be educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[2]

He emigrated to Upper Canada in 1858 at which point he was ordered to the diaconate by Diocese of Huron Bishop Benjamin Cronyn.[3] He was ordained as a priest in 1859. He married Mary Hutchison, a family friend from Ireland. Following Hutchison's death he remarried Frances Renaud, who he had five children with.[3]
