Edgar Robert Moline (2 January 1855 – 16 December 1943) was an Anglo-Austrian born in the Austrian Empire to a British father and an Austrian mother. He moved as a child to England and played first-class cricket for Gloucestershire briefly in 1878. Moline was born in Laibach, then in Austria, but now named Ljubljana and part of Slovenia.[1] Together with his brothers Charles Moline, who played cricket for Cambridge, and Frank Moline, who played for Clifton and Bristol Grammar School, he moved to England.

A right-hand bat, Moline played for an invitational XI at the behest of WG Grace in 1877, scoring two and 38.[2] He also made zero and nine against South Wales Cricket Club in 1880.[3] His two first-class matches for Gloucestershire came against Yorkshire and Sussex in July and August 1878 respectively. He scored thirty-one runs in total, with a batting average of 10.33. Moline also bowled underarm right-arm slow, but he was not called upon to bowl in his first-class career.[1] He died in Lynton, Devon.[4]
