Edward May Dewing JP (25 April 1823 – 29 October 1899) was an English first-class cricketer and antiquarian.

The son of the Reverend Edward Dewing, he was born in April 1823 at Carbrooke, Norfolk.[1] He was educated at Harrow School,[2] before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against Cambridge Town Club at Parker's Piece. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge University until 1845, making eleven appearances.[3] He first played for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in first-class matches in 1843, maintaining an association with the club until 1848. He made nineteen appearances for the MCC,[3] scoring 223 runs at an average of 6.96 and a high score of 36.[4] In addition to playing for Cambridge University and the MCC, Dewing also made first-class appearances for Gentlemen of England on five occasions, as well as appearing once each for the Gentlemen in the Gentlemen v Players fixture of 1845, for England and for a Single XI in the Married v Single match of 1844.[3] He was a founding member of I Zingari in 1845,[1] alongside John Loraine Baldwin, the Hon. Frederick Ponsonby (later 6th Earl of Bessborough), the Hon. Spencer Ponsonby (later Sir Spencer Ponsonby-Fane) and Richard Penruddocke Long, who were dining at the Blenheim Hotel in London's Bond Street after a match against Harrow School.

After graduating from Cambridge, he was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1847, but was never called to the bar.[1] He served in the Suffolk Rifle Volunteers as a lieutenant from 1863–66.[5] He later served as a justice of the peace for Suffolk and was considered to by an authority on East Anglian antiquities.[1] He published three articles in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute for Archaeology and Natural History.[6]

Dewing died in October 1899 at Nowton, Suffolk. His son, Robert, also played first-class cricket.
