Edmond Ducre Estilette, known as E. D. Estilette (December 19, 1833 – November 7, 1919), was a lawyer and state district court judge from Opelousas, Louisiana, who from 1872 to 1877 was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives during the era of Reconstruction. In 1876, he was the House Speaker, sandwiched in between the terms of the Republican Michael Hahn of St. Charles Parish in suburban New Orleans.
A native of St. Landry Parish in South Louisiana, Estilette attended the former St. Charles College in Grand Coteau. In 1857, Estilette received a Bachelor of Arts degree in classical studies from Yale University. While in New Haven, Connecticut, he married the former Fannie Thompson Bacon (1834-1897), whom he outlived by more than twenty years. The couple had one child, Julia B. Estinette Dupré (1860-1944). Estilette's sister-in-law married a Yale professor, Eugene L. Richards.
