Edward Hayward Budd (23 February 1786 – 29 March 1875) was a noted English cricketer and all-round sportsman.
At the age of 16 he was appointed to a clerkship in the War Office, from which he retired early after approximately twenty years' service.
He played for All-England Eleven versus Marylebone Cricket Club in 1804 and then made sporadic appearances until 1808 when his career took off.
[2] He was a member of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and that was his main team, though he also played for All-England and for various occasional elevens, including his own.
As with all cricketers in the first quarter of the 19th century, his full career details are uncertain but CricketArchive credits him with 73 known first-class appearances and 2,728 runs at a good average (for the time) of 23.51, with a highest score of 105.
