Edward Christian (1628-1693), Deemster of the Isle of Man, son of Deemster John Christian of Milntown and nephew of Illiam Dhone.

He is remembered for a court he refused to sit in. At the trial of William Christian in December 1662 he was acting as his father's deputy and assistant. When the Deputy-Governor sent a guard of soldiers to require the prisoner to come to the bar, and Christian refused to plead anything but the King's Act of Indemnity, the Deputy-Governor demanded the law of the Deemsters. The record notes that Deemster John Christian had not appeared, and that Mr Edward Christian his son and assistant had also forborne to sit in that court. Deemster Norris was left alone on the bench, craved the advice and assistance of the twenty-four Keys, and sentence of death was pronounced on 31 December 1662. Father and son had by then sailed for England to lay the case before the King.

The bench was made fit for the purpose before they went. Deemster Christian was removed and replaced by the Attorney-General, Hugh Cannell. Seven of the Keys were displaced by Lord Derby's own order and seven other persons appointed in their room.

His own affairs came apart after his death. He married Dorothy Wilson, and by his will of 1693 he desired that, subject to his widow's consent, their second son Edward Christian of Staple Inn should have Mullenlowne. His widow evidently did not approve, and after her death in 1695 Mullenlowne became the subject of a dispute between that son and his sister Margaret Christian, who was executrix to their mother's will.
