Edward H. Columbine was an English naval officer who served as Governor of Sierra Leone from 12 February 1810 – May 1811.

Columbine was given command of HMS Resolution in 1792–1796 and participated in Hotham's Action, 14 March 1795.[1]

Columbine had already been appointed alongside William Dawes and Thomas Ludlam to carry out a review of the forts and Settlements in British West Africa when Lord Castlereagh asked him to take over a governor of Sierra Leone from Thomas Perronet Thompson.[2] Whilst Dawes and Ludlam proceeded to inspect settlements along the West African Coast, Columbine stayed in Sierra Leone to deal with the colonies affairs.[2]
