Edward Hemsted (10 October 1846 — 12 March 1884) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of Tobias Hemsted, a surgeon from Newbury, he was born in October 1846 at Whitchurch, Hampshire. He was educated in Kent at Chatham House School. Hemsted made his debut in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of Kent against the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club at Canterbury in 1863.[1] From 1866 to 1869, he played first-class cricket for Hampshire on seven occasions.[1] In these, he scored 204 runs at an average of exactly 17, with a highest score of 39.[2] With his right-arm roundarm fast bowling, he took 8 wickets at a bowling average of 12.25;[3] he took one five wicket haul, with figures of 5 for 14 against Surrey. His efforts were notable for helping Hampshire to just their second victory in first-class cricket.[4]

Hemsted died at Weymouth, Dorset on 12 March 1884.
