Edmund Sharpe (1809–1877) was an English architect, architectural historian, railway engineer, and sanitary reformer.
During this time he also worked on the development of railways in Northwest England, including the design of bridges and the planning of new lines.
In 1851, he resigned from his architectural practice, and in 1856 he moved from Lancaster and spent the rest of his career mainly as a railway engineer, first in North Wales, then in Switzerland and southern France.
He wrote a number of articles on architecture, and was very critical of much of the restoration of medieval churches that had become a major occupation of contemporary architects.
