Sir Edward Vaughan Williams (6 June 1797 – 2 November 1875) was an English judge.
Born Blithfield, Staffordshire,[1] he was the eldest surviving son of Welsh barrister John Williams.
In October 1846, Williams was made a puisne judge of the court of common pleas, and received a knighthood on 4 February 1847.
A scholar and man of letters, he associated with Dean Milman, William Buckland, Richard Trench, and Henry George Liddell.
In 1824, with John Patteson, he brought out a fifth edition of his father's notes on Saunders's Reports and established his reputation in common-law learning.
Williams also edited Richard Burn's Justice of the Peace in conjunction with Serjeant D'Oyley in 1836, and Saunders's Reports in 1845 and 1871.
