Julia Edward (born 20 February 1991) is a New Zealand rower, a two time world champion in the women's lightweight double sculls.

[2][3] In 2010, she won silver in the lightweight double sculls at the U23 world championships with Lucy Strack.

[4] A year later, she won bronze in the same event with Alyce Pulford.

[7] The 2016 rowing year did not start out that successful for Edward and MacKenzie, and at both World Rowing Cups that New Zealand attended that year, they came third, beaten by different nations at those regattas.

[8][9][10] When they competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro later that year, they came fourth in the lightweight double sculls,[11] which was disappointing to them.
