Edwin Pearce Hardy (20 August 1892 – 31 December 1968) was an English first-class cricketer.

Born at Esholt, Hardy made two appearances for the Yorkshire 2nd XI in the 1910 Minor Counties Championship.[1] He studied at Durham University, where he played for his college, Hatfield Hall, as well as the university side; he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1914.[2]

Hardy represented the Europeans cricket team during the 1915 Bombay Quadrangular.[1] He had his first-class debut against the Muslims on 9 September, where he made 36 runs not out in his only innings.[3] In the final played four days later against the Hindus he was bowled lbw after 14 runs by Palwankar Baloo.[4]

He played his first and last match for England on 13 December 1915, facing India as part of a scratch team of cricketing soldiers and civil servants (among them the Governor of Bombay) and scored 53 runs in what was a comfortable "England" victory.[5]
