Edgar Alfred Jepson (1863 - 1938) was an English writer, principally of mainstream adventure and detective fiction, but also of some supernatural and fantasy stories that are better remembered. He used a pseudonym R. Edison Page for some of his many short stories, collaborating at times with John Gawsworth and possibly Arthur Machen, a long-term friend.

He was editor for a short period of Vanity Fair, where he employed Richard Middleton, and did much to preserve the latter's memory. He was also a translator, notably of the Arsène Lupin stories of Maurice Leblanc.

Jepson was a member of the Square Club (from 1908) of established Edwardian authors, of the Detection Club, and also one of the more senior of the New Bohemians drinking club.

His son Selwyn Jepson was also a mystery writer.

Jepson's translation of Leblanc and The Loudwater Mystery are available from Project Gutenberg.
