Edward Barron Chandler (August 22, 1800 – February 6, 1880) was a New Brunswick politician and lawyer from a United Empire Loyalist family.

His grandfather, Colonel Joshua Chandler, was a wealthy Connecticut legislature member-turned loyalist.

Later, Chandler was a New Brunswick delegate to the conferences in London, Charlottetown, and Quebec that led to Canadian confederation.

Chandler was a supporter of railway development and was instrumental as a federally appointed commissioner overseeing construction of the Intercolonial Railway in having its surveys diverted from a direct route between Amherst and Moncton to run through his community of Dorchester.

[4] In 1822, Chandler married Phoebe Milledge; they had 11 children, of which seven survived into adulthood.
