Edward McLarty (1 December 1848 – 13 August 1917) was an Australian pastoralist and politician who was a member of the Legislative Council of Western Australia from 1894 to 1916, representing South-West Province.

McLarty managed a run at Mandurah for a period in the 1860s, and later had his own stud in Pinjarra, on a property of 16,000 acres (65 km2).

Prominent in agricultural circles, he was elected to the Murray Road Board in 1875 (on which he would serve for most of the rest of his life), and was also appointed a justice of the peace.

McLarty left parliament in 1916, and died in Pinjarra the following year, aged 69.

One of his sons was Sir Ross McLarty, who was Premier of Western Australia from 1947 to 1953.
