Edward Joseph Ball (23 September 1827 – 4 November 1894) was an English-born Australian politician.

He was born at Lewisham in Kent, the son of hairdresser Edward Ball. He arrived in Melbourne around 1859 and soon moved to Sydney and then to Goulburn, where he worked as a tobacconist and hairdresser. On 23 April 1860 he married Jane Meldrum, with whom he had ten children. A long-serving Goulburn alderman who served two terms as mayor, he retired from his business in 1885. In 1887 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as a Free Trade member for Argyle. Re-elected in 1889, he was defeated in 1891. Ball died at Goulburn in 1894.[1]
