Clifford Blackburn Edgar (1857 – 20 March 1931) was a Coalition Conservative MP for Richmond in Surrey. He won the seat in 1918,[1] but lost it to an Independent Unionist in 1922.[2]

Educated at the University of Manchester (BSc) and the University of London (MusB), Edgar was involved with West African development for half a century, being a director of the Bank of British West Africa. He was a member of Surrey County Council and also Mayor of the Municipal Borough of Richmond (Surrey).

A photographic portrait of him, by Walter Stoneman, is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London.[3]
