Edward Reilly Stettinius (February 15, 1865 – September 3, 1925) was an American executive.

[1] By 1891, both his mother and father had died, and he went to the commodity exchange at the Chicago Board of Trade, but did not find that he could satisfactorily predict the price of wheat and left to become treasurer in the Stirling Boiler Company.

As conditions improved, he began to work in sales, doing well enough that he became general manager of the company.

His employer at Stirling was O. C. Barber, who also used his influence to make him president at Diamond Match, where Stettinius succeeded him.

In 1928, Edward's daughter Elizabeth "Betty" married Juan Trippe, founder of Pan Am Airlines.
