Edward Witherden Curteis (17 April 1853 – 25 February 1902) was an English cricketer.

Curteis was born at Corsley in Wiltshire and attended Tonbridge School where he played for the cricket XI.[1] He joined the British Army, attending Royal Military College Sandhurst where he also played cricket in 1870.[1] He was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 28th Regiment in 1871 and promoted to Lieutenant in 1872.[2] After playing for the amateur Gentlemen of Kent side in 1872 his first-class cricket debut came for Kent County Cricket Club in 1877. Five non-first-class matches for South Wales Cricket Club followed in 1878 but Curteis only played one other first-class match, appearing for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1887.[1][2] He died in Macclesfield in 1902 aged 48.[3]
