Edwin John Quekett FRMS (1808–1847) was an early worker in botany and histology, and a microscopist.
His younger brother was John Thomas Quekett, whose contributions to the same fields of research have a greater renown.
He received his medical training at University College Hospital, and practised as a surgeon in Wellclose Square, Whitechapel.
His name was commemorated by John Lindley in the Brazilian genus of orchids, Quekettia, which contains numerous microscopic crystals.
Fifteen papers stand to Edwin Quekett's name in the Royal Society's Catalogue of Scientific Papers (v. 53), mostly dealing with vegetable histology, and contributed to the Transactions of the Linnean and Microscopical Societies, The Phytologist, the Annals and Magazine of Natural History and the London Physiological Journal between 1838 and the date of his death.
