**Edward Rutter** (3 August 1842 – 4 February 1926) was an English [cricketer](/source/Cricket) who played 45 matches of [first-class cricket](/source/First-class_cricket) between 1862 and 1876 for [Middlesex](/source/Middlesex_County_Cricket_Club) and [Marylebone Cricket Club](/source/Marylebone_Cricket_Club) (MCC).[1]

Rutter was educated at [Rugby School](/source/Rugby_School). He was a member of the committee that drafted the rules for [Rugby union](/source/Rugby_union).[2]

Although he was a free-hitting right-handed batsman, Rutter was more prominent as a slow left-handed round-arm bowler.[2] Playing for Middlesex against [Kent](/source/Kent_County_Cricket_Club) at Gravesend in 1868 he had a match analysis of 11 for 123.[3] When [Surrey](/source/Surrey_County_Cricket_Club) beat Middlesex by three wickets in 1870, he took every Surrey wicket that fell in the second innings, finishing with 7 for 47.[4]

He wrote a memoir, *Cricket Memories*, which was published in 1925, the year before he died.[2]
