Edward Fitzsimmons (1869 – 28 January 1942) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington from 1890 to 1896.
Fitzsimmons was an off-spin bowler and excellent slips fieldsman.[1] In 1890–91, on the first day of his second first-class match, against Canterbury, 31 wickets fell for 242 runs as he helped dismiss Canterbury twice with 4 for 8 and 2 for 25; Wellington won by eight wickets early on the second day.[2] He took his best figures of 5 for 39 (9 for 66 in the match) in Wellington's victory over Hawke's Bay two seasons later.[3]
He worked as a telegraphist with the Post and Telegraph Department.[4]
