Edward Berwick

Edward Berwick (died 1877) was an Irish lawyer and educationalist, and served as President of Queen's College Galway from 1850 until 1877.

Berwick was the son of the Rev. Edward Berwick, a Church of Ireland clergyman who was rector of the parish of Esker, County Dublin. Educated at Trinity College Dublin, he graduated in law and was called to the Irish Bar in 1832. On the foundation of Queen's College Galway in 1845, Berwick was appointed to the office of Vice-President. The president, Joseph W. Kirwan, died in office in December 1849, and Berwick was appointed to succeed him in 1850.
