Edward John Payne (22 July 1844 - 26 December 1904) was an English barrister and historian specializing in colonial history. Payne was educated at High Wycombe Royal Grammar School and at Magdalen Hall and Charsley's Hall, Oxford, taking a second in Honour Moderations (Latin and Greek literature) in the Trinity Term of 1869 and a first class degree in Literae Humaniores in 1871. The next year, he was elected a Fellow of University College, Oxford, and in 1874, was called to the bar from Lincoln's Inn. A History of the New World Called America, an ambitious attempt at a comprehensive history of the Americas, remained unfinished at his death, only consisting of two volumes.
