Edward Mortimer (22 December 1943 – 18 June 2021) was a UN civil servant, journalist, author and academic.
Mortimer was a scholar at Eton College and studied history at Balliol College, Oxford, from 1962 to 1965, graduating with a congratulatory first, and was a Prize Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford, from 1965 to 1972.
In 1963, during his time at Balliol, he was part of the team that reached the final of the first series of University Challenge, losing to Leicester University.

After leaving Oxford he went to Paris to do research for a PhD, but set it aside in 1967 when he was hired as a reporter in The Times Paris office.
Left-leaning in his politics, he later reflected that "For me, May 1968 was certainly the high point of the Sixties."

During his time in Paris he documented the student riots and the last days of Charles de Gaulle's presidency.
From 2001 to 2006, he was the Director of Communications in the Executive Office of the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and was the chief speechwriter from 1998 to 2006.
Between 2007 and 2012 he was Senior Vice President of the Salzburg Global Seminar and was a member of the Advisory Council of Independent Diplomat.
He was the chair of the Sri Lanka Campaign for Peace and Justice from 2010 to 2015 and one of the key people integral to the creation of the Campaign.
Mortimer was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the 2010 New Year Honours.
Edward Mortimer was born in Burford, Oxfordshire, the son of Robert Mortimer, Regius Professor of Moral Theology at Christ Church, Oxford and later Bishop of Exeter and his wife Mary.
