This article is a biographical note on Kenneth Essex Edgeworth (1880–1972), Army officer, engineer, economist and independent theoretical astronomer. Abibliography of Edgeworth's known papers is incorporated, and his interesting cosmogonic theories are highlighted, in particular his postulation in 1943 of a source of potential comets occupying the region of the solar system beyond Neptune, recently termed the Kuiper belt.
