Edward Dicconson (30 November 1670 – 5 May 1752) was an English Roman Catholic bishop who served as the Vicar Apostolic of the Northern District of England from 1740 to 1752.

He returned to Douai about 1698, having resolved to become a priest, and on being ordained in June, 1701, remained at the college many years as procurator and professor and became vice-president in 1713, while still continuing to teach theology.

[2] At Ushaw College there is preserved a portion of a diary kept by him at this period, which gives a glimpse of the life he then led at Douai, besides mentioning some other events of interest.

After being employed for some time at Paris in connection with the college funds, in 1720, Dicconson left Douai, accompanied by his nephew, having been offered the position as chaplain to Bonaventure Giffard of Chillington in Staffordshire.

In the reports supplied to the Holy See on the several occasions when his name was brought forward for a bishopric, he is described as "a wise man of singular merit, of learning, application to business, and dexterity in managing affairs-though not very successful in the economy of Douai, and with an impediment of tongue, which made preaching difficult."
