Edgar Francis Talman Sheldrake (18 January 1864 — 14 December 1950) was an English first-class cricketer and publisher.

Edgar Sheldrake was born in Aldershot in Hampshire in 1864, the son of William Henry Sheldrake (1816–1885), a stationer and printer of Sheldrake's Aldershot Military Gazette.[1] As a young man he joined his father's publishing and printing business in Aldershot.[2]

Sheldrake performed well in club cricket in Aldershot, which gained the attention of Hampshire.[3] He went on to play for Hampshire in three first-class cricket matches, playing twice in 1884 against Sussex and Somerset and once in 1885 against Surrey.[4] In these, he scored 52 runs with a highest score of 20,[5] in addition to taking a single wicket.[6] Although his county cricket amounted to three matches, he continued to play in Aldershot club cricket for the Aldershot Athletic Club, where he scored heavily as a batsman into the 1890s.[7] After his cricketing career he continued to work for the family newsagent and stationers business.[8]

On 3 February 1900, he married Lucy Maunde (1862–1935) at St Bartholomew's church in Haslemere in Surrey.[9] There were no children from the marriage.[8] Sheldrake died in Surbiton in December 1950.
