Edward Bullough (28 March 1880 – 17 September 1934) was an English aesthetician and scholar of modern languages, who worked at the University of Cambridge.
He did experimental work on the perception of colours, and in his theoretical work introduced the concept of psychical distance: that which "appears to lie between our own self and its affections" in aesthetic experience.
In languages, Bullough was a dedicated teacher who published little.
He came to concentrate on Italian, and was elected to the Chair of Italian at Cambridge in 1933.
