Edward Latymer (c. 1557 – January 1627) was an English legal official in the Court of Wards and Liveries in London. Born in Ipswich, he served as a deputy and clerk to the Receiver-General from 1594 to 1602 and later as a common attorney in the same court until 1626. Latymer is best known for his will, which established educational trusts that founded The Latymer School in Edmonton and Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, and supported charitable initiatives for the poor. His legacy also includes associations with Godolphin and Latymer School.
