Edward Charles Baring, 1st Baron Revelstoke (13 April 1828 – 17 July 1897), was a British banker.

Baring in 1882 became senior partner in the family banking firm of Baring Brothers and Co until forced to step down following the Panic of 1890. Edward's younger brother Thomas also became a partner in the bank.

He was also a Director of the Bank of England (1879–1891), chairman of Lloyds (1887–1892) and a Lieutenant of the City of London. On 30 June 1885 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Revelstoke, of Membland in the County of Devon.

The town of Revelstoke in British Columbia, Canada was renamed in his honour, commemorating his role in securing the financing necessary for completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
