Edward Charles Baring, 1st Baron Revelstoke (13 April 1828-17 July 1897), was a British banker.
A member of the famous Baring banking family, he was the second son of Henry Baring from his second marriage to Cecilia Anne (née Windham). Sir Francis Baring, 1st Baronet, was his grandfather and Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer, his younger brother. Educated at Rugby, Baring was head of the family firm of Baring Brothers and Co and a Director of the Bank of England. He also served as a Lieutenant of the City of London. In 1885 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Revelstoke, of Membland in the County of Devon.
The town of Revelstoke in British Columbia, Canada was renamed in his honour.
Lord Revelstoke married Louisa Emily Charlotte, daughter of John Crocker Bulteel, in 1861. They had seven sons and three daughters. Their fifth was the man of letters Maurice Baring. Lady Revelstoke died in 1892. Lord Revelstoke survived her by five years and died in July 1897, aged 69. He was succeeded in the barony by his second but eldest surviving son John.
