Edward Augustus Freeman (2 August 1823 – 16 March 1892) was an English historian, architectural artist, and Liberal politician during the late-19th-century heyday of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom William Gladstone, as well as a one-time candidate for Parliament.
He held the position of Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford, where he tutored Arthur Evans; later he and Evans would be activists in the Balkan uprising of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1874–1878) against the Ottoman Empire.
After the marriage of his daughter Margaret to Evans, he and Evans collaborated on the fourth volume of his History of Sicily.
He was a prolific writer, publishing 239 distinct works.
One of his best known is his magnum opus, The History of the Norman Conquest of England (published in 6 volumes, 1867–1879).
Both he and Margaret died before Evans purchased the land from which he would excavate the Palace of Knossos.
