John Edie (1856 – 7 June 1928) was a Liberal Party Member of Parliament in the Otago region of New Zealand.

[2] He joined the Tuapeka County Council in 1885 as an engineer and remained in that position until 1919, when he resigned to stand in the 1919 election.

[3] Before the election, he was criticised for standing for the Liberal Party, thus claiming to represent the working man, yet underpaying staff at his mine.

[5] Edie contested the Bruce electorate in the 1919 election as a Liberal against the incumbent, Reform's James Allen.

[11] His son, Herbert Kerr Edie, unsuccessfully contested the 1935 and 1938 elections in the Clutha electorate as a Labour Party candidate against James Roy.
