Edwin Haslam is a physical organic chemist and an author of books on polyphenols. He is an alumni of Sir John Deane's College in Northwich, Cheshire, United Kingdom.

Haslam proposed a first comprehensive definition of plant polyphenols based on the earlier proposals of Bate-Smith, Swain and White, which includes specific structural characteristics common to all phenolics having a tanning property. We could thus refer to it as the White–Bate-Smith–Swain–Haslam (WBSSH) definition.[1]
