Edward Grey (25 March 1782 – 24 June 1837) was an Anglican bishop who served in the Church of England as the Bishop of Hereford from 1832 to 1837.
Grey was a son of Charles Grey, 1st Earl Grey, and the brother of Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, the Prime Minister. From 1801, when his father was created a peer, he was entitled to the style The Honourable. He was educated at Eton College, and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford in 1799, graduating B.A. 1803, M.A. 1806, B.D. & D.D. 1831.
He held livings at St Mary, Whickham, County Durham (1816–1828) and St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate, London (1828–1832). He was Dean of Hereford from 1830 to 1832; and a canon of Westminster Abbey from 1833.
He was nominated to become Bishop of Hereford by William IV on 4 May 1832 and consecrated as a bishop on 20 May 1832. He died in office on 24 June 1837. His son, William Grey, served as Governor of Jamaica.
