Edwin Henry King (December 1828 – April 14, 1896) was a Canadian banker.

[1] King was ruthless in his promotion of the Bank of Montreal and was described as "a little god who dares to treat the representatives of all other banks" in an insulting manner, a "truculent and uncompromising" fellow, and "very peculiar."

He moved the bank into the professional realm, focusing on commercial credit.

His personality and business practices angered many Toronto capitalists leading one of the bank's directors, Senator William McMaster, to found the Canadian Bank of Commerce.

[1] Historian Oscar Douglas Skelton called him "the most striking figure in Canadian banking history".
