Edgar Galbraith (16 June 1853 — 16 June 1899) was an Irish international rugby union player.

Born in Dublin, Galbraith was a forward with Dublin University Football Club and gained his solitary Ireland cap in the team's first ever international, against England at The Oval in 1875.[1]

Galbraith worked in British India for the Indian Civil Service and was only a few months into his appointment as Commissioner of Agra when he died of an inflamed liver in 1899.[2][3]
