Edwin Lineham (28 April 1879 — 12 August 1949) was an English first-class cricketer.

Lineham was born in the Landport district of Portsmouth in April 1879. He made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Lancashire at Old Trafford in the 1898 County Championship.[1] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed without scoring by Johnny Briggs in Hampshire's first innings, while in their second innings he was promoted from the middle order to open the batting alongside Ledger Hill, but ended Hampshire's brief one over innings unbeaten without scoring.[2] Lineham died in Portsmouth at St Mary's Hospital on 12 August 1949.[3]
