Edmund Gerald Dease (6 September 1829 – 17 July 1904)[1] was an Irish Home Rule League and Liberal politician.

He was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Queen's County at a by-election in 1870 as a Liberal candidate, and won the seat again in 1874 as a Home Rule candidate. He then held the seat until he stood down in 1880.[2]

Dease was educated at Queen's University of Ireland where he achieved a Master of Arts. Throughout his life, he was also a Deputy Lieutenant, Justice of the Peace, Commissioner of National Education, and member of the senate at Royal University of Ireland. His daughter was the Irish language prayer collector Charlotte Dease.[3]
