Frederick Edwin Le Grice (1911–1992)[1] was an English Anglican priest in the latter part of the 20th century.

He was born on 14 December 1911 at Harleston, Norfolk and educated at Queens' College, Cambridge.[2] Ordained in 1936 he began his career with curacies in Leeds and Paignton.[3] Subsequently, Vicar of Totteridge[4] he was then appointed a Canon Residentiary of St Albans Cathedral, a post he held until his appointment as Dean of Ripon in 1968.[5] He retired in 1984 after 16 years in post and died on 25 June 1992 at Ripon.

A large stained glass window in the Cathedral is dedicated to Edwin Le Grice. It features medieval stained glass found when the Cathedral was being restored and a line of one of his poems, "Surround us with your symphony of praise, God's messengers of light.'
