Edward Burrough (1634 - 1663) was an early Quaker leader, one of the Valiant Sixty, and often worked with Francis Howgill.

Burrough was a frequent Quaker controversialist, taking on John Bunyan in a pamphlet war. He wrote the introduction to George Fox's Great Mystery of the Great Whore Unfolded, and his own works were published in 1672 as The Memorable Works of a Son of Thunder and Consolation.

He died in Newgate Prison in 1663, where he had been held for holding a meeting.
