Edmund George McCorquodale (23 July 1881 – 24 May 1904) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of George Frederick McCorquodale and his wife, Mary Augusta Walcott Henderson, he was born at Weybridge in July 1881.[1] He was educated at Harrow School, before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] While studying at Cambridge, he made two appearances in first-class cricket for Cambridge University in 1901, against Worcestershire and Surrey.[3] After injuring himself in the Surrey match, he featured in no further first-class matches for Cambridge.[4] In addition to playing first-class cricket, he also played minor counties cricket for Hertfordshire in 1899, making two appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[5] He died from appendicitis in May 1904 at Tulcan Lodge in Advie, Morayshire.[4]
