Sir Edward John Poynter, Sir Edward John Poynter, Intaiul Baronet, KB PRA (20 martie 1836 – 26 iulie 1919) a fost un pictor, designer, desenator si art administrator englez.

Fiul lui Ambrose Poynter, arhitect, s-a nascut in Paris. A fost educat la Ipswich School si Brighton College inainte de a studia in Londra, in Roma (unde a devenit un mare admirator a lui Michelangelo) si cu Charles Gleyre in Paris (unde l-a intalnit pe James McNeill Whistler). A devenit cunoscut pentru picturile sale istorice de dimensiuni mari, picturile Israel in Egypt (1867, primul sau mare succes), Visit of the Queen of Sheba (1871–75) si King Solomon (1890).

Poynter a detinut nenumarate functii, iar in 1896, la moartea lui Sir John Millais, Poynter a fost ales presedintele Academiei Regale from 1896 si a primit in acelasi an, rangul de cavaler. A devenit baronet in 1902.

Din subiectele picturilor sale (King Solomon si King Solomons Temple) si din asocierea cu Rudyard Kipling se pare ca a fost francmason. Copii ale picturii sale ”The visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon” se gasesc in cele mai multe loje masonice din toata lumea.
