Edward Berkeley Portman (31 January 1771 – 19 January 1823, Rome) of Bryanston House, Bryanston, Dorset was an 18th-century English housing developer and politician.

He was the son of Henry Portman, and ultimately a descendant of the Tudor landowner Sir William Portman. Edward continued his father's work developing the family lands in London into the Portman Estate. He was appointed High Sheriff of Dorset for 1798–99.

He also sat as Member of Parliament for Boroughbridge between 1802 and 1806 and for Dorset between 1806 and 1823.
