Edward Doran Webb FSA (1864–1931[1]) was a British ecclesiastical architect.[2]

Based in Wiltshire, he worked on several churches including at Salisbury,[3] Finchley,[2] Swindon and Aldermaston.[4] Webb also designed the Birmingham Oratory.[5] He had strong connections to the University of Cambridge, and designed a large country stone house for a senior member of St John's College in the west of the city before retiring; the limestone house is in the stately Queen Anne style.[6]

Webb was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and this affiliation may be the source of his connection to scholars at the University of Cambridge.[7] He was married to Elsie Janet Charlton on 30 January 1899 and lived at Gaston House in Tisbury, Wiltshire almost until the end of his life.[8]
