Edvard Apolloniussen Liljedahl (6 August 1845, in Vik - 10 October 1924) was a Norwegian politician for the Liberal Party.

He cleared the land himself during his time as a parish clerk and a member of parliament, and rented it out when he lived in Ålesund and Bergen.

He cultivated more land in Havnen and planted a large number of fruit trees (about 250) of which, about half were pear and the rest were apple and cherry.

In 1904 after his postmaster days were over, he went back to Kyrkjebø to live at the Røytehola property, and immediately purchased more land which he cultivated.

After his employment as postmaster in Ålesund, he purchased the Vågenes farm in Borgund, but quickly sold it to his brother-in-law Magnus Ramslie, who was from Vangsnes.

It ended up being too large and expensive to operate, so he sold it after a few years, and moved from Ålesund to Bergen.

He also founded the Spjelkavik yarn and fishnet factory, which grew to be a large business that contributed to the construction of many buildings and homes in the area.

He was a member of the Norwegian Parliament for the constituency of Nordre Bergenhus amt from 1870–1891, for Ålesund 1895-1905, and Ytre Sogn from 1906-1909.

He was a member of the Council of State Division in Stockholm in 1889, and Minister of Education and Church Affairs in the Bratlie cabinet from 1912 to 1913.

A colleague who attended school with Liljedahl in 1876 wrote, "He was a pleasant man, full of life and desire.
