Edward Russell Mockridge (18 July 1928 – 13 September 1958) was a racing cyclist from Geelong, Victoria, Australia.

[2] Mockridge married Irene Pritchard (-2004), widely known as "Rene",[3] in London, in 1953;[4] they had a daughter, Melinda, who was born in Ghent, Belgium in December 1954.

For his upper-class accent he was dubbed Little Lord Fauntleroy, but his wins soon earned him the nickname of The Geelong Flyer.

A great former cyclist, Hubert Opperman, then Federal parliamentarian for Geelong, negotiated a one-year reduction.

[9] In 1958, aged 30, he was killed by a bus in Melbourne at the Dandenong Rd and Clayton Rd intersection, two miles from the start of the 225 km Tour of Gippsland race.
