Edward Ryley (or Riley) Langworthy (1797 – 7 April 1874) was a British businessman and an independent but Whig-leaning politician.
Following his election he gave a speech outlining his political views: he supported the temperance movement, free trade and civil and religious freedom, the reform of parliament, strengthened local government, but opposed any increase in the size of the country's armed forces.
Langworthy retained his connection with Salford Corporation[clarification needed], and on his death in 1874 left £10,000 to the museum and library he had helped establish.
Langworthy Road, constructed shortly after his death, was named in his memory by Salford Borough Council.
