Edward David Williams (24 September 1842 – 17 October 1909) was a former Australian politician.
[1] Williams was born in Wales and worked in the woollen industry until, aged 17, he went to Shrewsbury where he learned English, before moving to London in 1860.
[2] A borough councillor for twenty-three years from 1886, Williams was three times mayor of Castlemaine (1892, 1898 and 1907).
[2] In 1894, Williams was elected as a member for the Electoral district of Castlemaine, outpolling premier James Patterson in the seat, as the protectionists led by George Turner won the Victorian colonial election in a landslide.
