Sir Edward Windsor, 3rd Baron Windsor (1532 – 24 January 1574) was an English peer.

His wife was Katherine de Vere (1538-1600), an older half-sister of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. The fourth and fifth barons were his sons Frederick, otherwise Ferdinand, (1559–1585) and Henry (1562–1605).

Windsor was admitted a member of the Middle Temple, the bench book of which records:

"Ordered, that Edward lord Windsor shall have, at his pleasure, his chamber called "the Parliament Chamber", notwithstanding the admission of Mr. Jerome Corbet, who will move therefrom whenever the said lord or Frederick, his eldest son, shall wish to reside there; but they must pay Corbet for his expenses in the said chamber."[1]

He died in Venice, where he is buried in the Basilica of San Giovanni & San Paolo.
