Edward Lotherington Colebrooke (29 October 1858 – 10 August 1939) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of Dr. Henry Colebrooke, he was born at Southborough in October 1858. He was educated at Charterhouse School,[1] before going up to Exeter College, Oxford.[2] While at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of England against Oxford University in 1879 at Oxford. The following season he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making five appearances and gaining a blue.[3][4] He made an additional first-class appearance in 1880 when he played for the Gentlemen of Kent against the Gentlemen of England at Canterbury.[3] In seven first-class matches, Colebrook scored 161 runs at an average of 13.41, with a high score of 34 not out.[5] After graduating from Oxford, he became a priest in the Church of England.[4] He died without issue at Canterbury in August 1939. His nephew's Kenneth Hutchings, Frederick Hutchings and William Hutchings all played first-class cricket, with Kenneth playing at Test level for England.
