Edward Fisher (fl. 1627–1655) was an English theological writer.
Fisher is usually identified with "E.F.". the author of The Marrow of Modern Divinity (1645),[1] a work which influentially stated the doctrine of unconditional grace,[2] and was at the centre of the later Marrow Controversy. While this attribution of the book to Fisher is commonly accepted, it is contested by Alexander Gordon in the Dictionary of National Biography who considers it unlikely on internal evidence.[3]
