Edward Casper Stokes (December 22, 1860 – November 4, 1942) was an American Republican Party politician, who served as the 32nd governor of New Jersey, from 1905 to 1908.

Stokes made his first attempt at the United States Senate in 1902 after the death of William Joyce Sewell, but fell short in voting by the Republican caucus, losing out to John F. Dryden.

Stokes ran for the U.S. Senate in 1928, but finished second in the Republican primary behind Hamilton Fish Kean.

He lost much of his own money in the stock market crash, and in 1939 the New Jersey Legislature voted to give him a $2,500-a-year pension.

Stokes turned the money down and instead took a state job advising New Jersey's public information office.
