Robert Edmund Edwards (born March 15, 1926 in London ; † 2000 ) was an Australian mathematician who dealt with functional analysis and harmonic analysis .

Edwards received his doctorate in 1951 under Lionel Cooper at Birkbeck College, University of London (The theory of normed rings and translations in function spaces). He was then a lecturer there and, from 1959, a lecturer at the University of Reading . In 1961 he became a Professorial Fellow and from 1970 to 1978 he was a professor at the Australian National University (Institute of Advanced Studies).
