Edmund Ralph Brockman (22 October 1828 – 17 September 1908) was an Australian farmer and politician who was a member of the Legislative Council of Western Australia on three occasions – from 1878 to 1880, from 1887 to 1889, and from 1890 to 1891.
His parents moved to Western Australia when he was an infant, arriving in the Swan River Colony in January 1830 (just months after its establishment).
[1] Prominent in agricultural circles, Brockman was elected to the Legislative Council at an 1878 by-election for the seat of Swan, replacing Walter Padbury.
Brockman returned to parliament in June 1887, when he was nominated to the Legislative Council by the governor, Sir Frederick Broome.
[1] Brockman's final period in parliament lasted for just under a year, as he resigned to accept an office of profit (a government contract to supply hay).
