Sir Edward Montagu (c. 1530 – 26 January 1602) was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1559.

Montagu was the eldest surviving son of Sir Edward Montagu of Boughton House, near Kettering and his third wife Helen Roper, daughter of John Roper of Well Hall, Eltham. In 1556, he succeeded to eleven manors, a castle, a baronial residence’ and the patronage of eight livings in Northamptonshire on the death of his father. He extended his possessions by a grant of concealed lands in Northamptonshire, and bought the manor of Trafford and woods near Brigstock and property at Newton, Overdean and Woodhall Bedfordshire. In 1559, he was elected Member of Parliament for Northamptonshire. He was a J.P. for Northamptonshire from about 1559 and was Sheriff of Northamptonshire from 1559 to 1560. He was knighted between 1568 and 1570. In 1570 he became Deputy Lieutenant and was Sheriff of Northamptonshire again from 1570 to 1571. He was a commissioner to regulate the ‘export’ of corn in 1572, commissioner for Peterborough cathedral lands in 1574 and commissioner for religious ‘disorders’ for Northampton in 1579.
