Isidore-Édouard-Candide Masson

Édouard Masson (French pronunciation: [edwaʁ masɔ̃]; May 4, 1826 – August 5, 1875) was a businessman and political figure in Canada East.

Masson studied at the Petit Séminaire de Montréal and then in England.

With his older brother Wilfred, he took over the family business when his father died in 1847.

Masson, along with architect and politician Thony Ciallella, founded a settlement at Sainte-Marguerite, which later became the parish of Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson.

His brother Louis-Rodrigue Masson represented Terrebonne in the Canadian House of Commons.
