Edward Tolfree (12 July 1881 – 20 March 1966) was an English cricketer who participated in first-class matches.
He was born in Southampton to Edward Tolfree. His first-class cricket debut for Hampshire occurred in 1906 during a game against the touring West Indians at the County Ground, Southampton, which was his only match that year. In 1907, he appeared once more, playing against Warwickshire, followed by two matches in the 1909 County Championship season facing Surrey and Leicestershire. After the conclusion of the First World War, Tolfree made a final appearance in 1919 against Middlesex at Lord's. This return was probably influenced by player shortages within Hampshire caused by wartime casualties. Over the course of his five first-class games, he amassed 53 runs with a highest unbeaten score of 22 and claimed two wickets.
Outside of cricket, Tolfree was employed as a property auctioneer based in Southampton. He passed away in West End, Hampshire, in March 1966.
