Edward Long Fox (26 April 1761 – 1835) was an English psychiatrist. He established an insane asylum at Brislington House, near Bristol, England, and classified the patients according to social class as well as behavioural presentation.

He was a member of the Fox family of Falmouth, one of the 11 children of Joseph Fox(1729–1784) and Elizabeth Hingston, his wife.

In 1830 he purchased Knightstone Island in Weston-super-Mare to create a therapeutic spa with range of hot, cold and chemical baths.
