Edward William Tritton (3 August 1844 – 1 December 1901) was an English first-class cricketer active from 1864 to 1875 who played for Middlesex and Oxford University. He was born at Marylebone and died at Paignton. He appeared in 39 first-class matches as a right-handed batsman and occasional wicket-keeper who rarely bowled. He scored 1,000 runs with a highest score of 114, one of two centuries in his career, and held 20 catches. He took one wicket with a best performance of one for 34.[1][2]

Tritton was educated at Eton, where he played cricket for the school in 1862,[3] and Christ Church, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1863 and graduated B.A. in 1869. He studied law at the Inner Temple and was called to the bar in 1871.[4]
