Edward Bosqui (July 23, 1832–December 15, 1917) was a Canadian artist, printer, and pioneer in San Francisco, California. Involved in the Bohemian Club, he was a patron of the arts.

Bosqui was born in Montreal and came to California in 1850.[1] He founded the Bosqui Engraving and Printing Company in 1863.[2] A stereoscopic albumen silver print of the building was taken by Eadweard J. Muybridge in 1869.[3] Bosqui helped organize the San Francisco Art Association in 1871.[2]

His home burned down in 1897 and many of his paintings were destroyed in the fire. His printing business also later burned.[2] He had eight children.[4] His son, Edward L. Bosqui, became California Fish and Game commissioner. Bosqui died in 1917.[5]
