Edward Wyndham Harrington Schenley (1799 – 31 January 1878)[1] was a British Liberal politician, military officer and husband of Mary Elizabeth Croghan, 19th century philanthropist of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Born in Woolwich, Kent, Schenley's father was an artillery officer who died in Cadiz, Spain in 1813.

In 1836 he was appointed as arbitrator to the British and Spanish joint commission addressing slavery in Cuba.

In 1841, after falling ill en route to the United States, he stopped in Staten Island, New York to recuperate at the home of his sister in law Lydia Inglis McLeod, who ran a school for girls.

Mary's grandfather, James O'Hara, settled in Pittsburgh prior to the American Revolution in 1773 and became a substantial landowner and businessman in that city.
