Sir Edward Rodney (29 June 1590 – 1657) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1642.
In 1611 he accompanied William Seymour overseas after he escaped from the Tower of London to meet his wife Arbella Stuart.
In 1628 he was elected MP for Somerset and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.
However, Rodney appears to have been reinstated following the Royalist victories of 1643 and the regiment took part in the Battle of Lostwithiel (August–September 1644) and the subsequent Siege of Taunton (September–December).
She was the daughter of Sir Robert Southwell of Woodrising, Norfolk, and his wife Lady Elizabeth Howard.
