Edward Salomons (1828–1906) was an English architect based in Manchester, active in the late 19th century.[2] He is known for his architecture in the Gothic Revival and Italianate styles.

His prominent commissions in Manchester include the Manchester Jewish Museum (1875),[3] the Manchester Reform Club (1870-1871),[4] described by Claire Hartwell, in her Manchester Pevsner City Guide, as Salomon’s “best city-centre building”,[1] the former Manchester and Salford Trustee Savings Bank (1872),[5] and the now-demolished Exhibition Hall, built for the city's Art Treasures Exhibition (1857).[6] In London, he assisted with the design of the Agnew Gallery on Old Bond Street (1876) and the New West End Synagogue (1863);[7] he was himself of Jewish origin.
