John Cox Edghill was a British Anglican priest and military chaplain.
He was senior chaplain at Aldershot from 1861, then followed chaplain to the forces at Chatham, Halifax (Nova Scotia), again at Aldershot, Gibraltar, and, finally, at Portsmouth (1881–1885), and then Chaplain-General to Her Majesty's Forces (1885–1901).
