Edmund Edward DeLesert Grierson (April 2, 1860 – March 4, 1922) was a politician in Alberta, Canada and a municipal councillor in Edmonton.

He left home when he was eleven years old and worked a variety of jobs in western Ontario until 1878.

He worked for the Canadian Anthracite Coal Company for eight years, and then helped with the construction of the CPR Hotel in Banff.

He moved to Edmonton in 1893 and purchased the Queen's Hotel with business partner Fred Jackson.

He managed it for three years before buying the Alberta Hotel in 1897, on to which he added an addition which made it the first four-storey structure in Edmonton.
