Edward Leach (4 December 1879 – 30 October 1949) was a New Zealand bowls player who represented his country at the 1930 British Empire Games.

Born in Walsall, Staffordshire, England, on 4 December 1879, Leach was the son of John and Ann Leach.[1][2] He became a baker and later emigrated to New Zealand.[1]

A member of the Stratford Bowling Club, Leach represented New Zealand in the fours at the 1930 British Empire Games in Hamilton, Ontario.[3][4] The foursome of Leach, William Fielding, Peter McWhannell, and Harold Frost finished fifth.[3][5]

Leach later moved to Auckland, where he became president of the Saint Heliers Bowling Club.[6] He served as vice president of the Tamaki Returned Servicemen's Association and president of the Tamaki Orphans' Club.[6]

Leach died on 30 October 1949, and he was buried at Purewa Cemetery, Auckland.[7]
