Edmund Lacey (or Lacy; died 1455) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford and Bishop of Exeter in England.

Lacey was educated at University College, Oxford, where he was a mature commoner, then Fellow, and subsequently Master of the College from 1398 until around 1401.[1] The College prospered and developed under him, as well as under John Appleton and John Castell who followed him.[2]

In 1401, Lacey was appointed Canon of the ninth stall at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, a position he held until 1417.[3]

Around 1414, Lacey was appointed Dean of the Chapel Royal, accompanying King Henry V to the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.[4] He was elected to the see of Hereford between 21 January and 17 February 1417 and consecrated on 18 April 1417.[5] He was then translated to the see of Exeter on 15 July 1420.[6] While bishop at Exeter, Lacey promoted the cult of the Archangel Raphael, proclaiming the feast in his diocese in 1443, and working throughout England to institute the cult.[7]

Lacey died on 18 September 1455.[6] His executors appear as John Cobethorn, Henry Webber, John Germyn and John Burnebyry, all church officials, in 1460;[8]
