Edward Matthews (13 May 1813 – 26 November 1892) was a Welsh Calvinistic Methodist minister and author. Religious lifeInfluenced by the ministry of David Morris, Matthews began to preach at Hirwaun in Wales in 1830, having worked there from 1827. Matthews moved back to Glamorgan in 1833 and was ordained in 1841 at Llangeitho's Association. He was a student at Trevecka in 1843 and became minister in 1849 at Pontypridd's Penuel chapel. He moved to Ewenni Isaf in 1852 and later Cardiff in 1864. From 1876 to 1883 he lived at Bonvilston but returned to Bridgend before his death in 1892. Matthews gained a reputation as an imaginative and dramatic preacher, known for his sudden outcries. He has been deemed "the uncrowned king of the Calvinistic Methodist Associations".[1] Written worksEdward Matthews published a volume of sermons in 1927, edited by D. M. Phillips.

He often wrote articles for Y Traethodydd, Y Drysorfa and Y Cylchgrawn, to the extent that W. Llywel Morgan edited a volume of Matthews's published articles in 1911.
