Edward Fortescue Wright CMG (born 11 March 1858 in Coburg, Chudleigh, Devon, murdered on 23 November 1904 in Kingston, Jamaica) was an English cricketer who became a member of the Colonial Service in the West Indies.

He made his debut for the colony against Trinidad in 1882-83 when he took 4 wickets and then scored 123 out of the British Guiana total of 168.

He was promoted to Inspector General in charge of the Jamaica Constabulary and in 1902 was awarded the CMG for his services.

On the following day Wright and a colleague, Inspector Clarke, were strolling unarmed through the town and were mistaken for members of the local police force.

They were attacked and whilst Inspector Clarke received a fractured skull from which he eventually recovered, Wright was so badly hurt that he died shortly afterwards.
