Edmund Horace Bourne (14 February 1885 – 7 August 1962) was an English cricketer. Bourne was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm slow. He was born at Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

Bourne made his debut in county cricket for Staffordshire in the 1904 Minor Counties Championship against Dorset. Between 1904 and the start of World War I in 1914, Bourne made 49 appearances for Staffordshire in the Minor Counties Championship.[1] In 1912, he was selected to play in a combined Minor Counties cricket team for its inaugural appearance in first-class cricket against the touring South Africans at the County Ground, Stoke-on-Trent, in 1912.[2] In what was Bourne's only first-class appearance, he batted once in the match, scoring 16 runs in the Minor Counties first-innings as an opening batsman, before being dismissed by Aubrey Faulkner.[3] Following World War I, he made five further appearances in the Minor Counties Championship for Staffordshire, with his final appearance coming against the Surrey Second XI in 1912.[1]

Bourne had three brothers, all of whom played Minor counties cricket for Staffordshire.[4] Bourne died at Earlswood, Surrey, on 7 August 1962. He was buried at St Mary's Church, Reigate, next to his wife, Elsie.[5]
