Charles Howard Edwards (1856[1] – 20 March 1924) was a New Zealand cricketer who played two matches of first-class cricket for Hawke's Bay in 1884 and 1888.
On his first-class debut in 1884-85 Edwards opened the bowling for Hawke's Bay and took 4 for 17 and 3 for 20 in Hawke's Bay's eight-wicket victory over Wellington.[2] In a one-day match against the touring Australians in 1886-87 he took 6 for 39.[3]
Edwards was appointed manager of the Napier Gas Company in 1886, and still held that position at the time of his sudden death in 1924.[4][5]
