Edward William Grinfield (1785–1864) was an English biblical scholar.

He was the son of Thomas Grinfield and Anna Joanna, daughter of Joseph Foster Barham of Bedford, and brother of Thomas Grinfield. He was a schoolfellow of Thomas de Quincey at Wingfield, Wiltshire.[1] He entered Lincoln College, Oxford, proceeded B.A. 1806, M.A. 1808, and was ordained in the same year by the Bishop of Lincoln.[2]

After studying law at Lincoln's Inn and the Inner Temple, Grinfield became minister of Laura Chapel, Bath. It had been founded by Francis Randolph, its proprietor, in 1756.[3] Later he moved to London, where he occasionally preached at Kensington.[2][4]

In 1859 Grinfield founded and endowed a lectureship at Oxford on the Septuagint. He died at Brighton on 9 July 1864, and was buried in Hove churchyard.[2]
