Edward Whalley was an English Parliamentarian cavalry commander in the Civil War, a cousin of Oliver Cromwell, and one of the judges who signed the death warrant of Charles I in 1649.

Sheltered by Puritans in the New Haven Colony and later at Hadley, Massachusetts, they evaded royal agents, and he died in hiding.
