Edward Houghton Angelo (29 July 1870 – 1 October 1948) was an Australian politician who served in both houses of the Parliament of Western Australia. He was a member of the Legislative Assembly from 1917 to 1933, representing the seat of Gascoyne, and then a member of the Legislative Council from 1934 to 1940, representing North Province.
Angelo was born in Jhansi, in present-day Uttar Pradesh, India, to Mary (née Colquhoun) and Edward Fox Angelo. He was sent to Australia to be educated, initially attended the Hutchins School in Hobart, Tasmania. In 1882, his father, an army officer, was sent to Western Australia. Angelo joined him there, completing his education at The High School in Perth. After leaving school, he initially worked for the Public Works Department. He later transferred to the Treasury Department, working as a clerk, and in 1887 was posted to Roebourne.
In 1890, Angelo joined the Roebourne branch of the Union Bank. He returned to Perth in 1892, but in 1902 relocated to Carnarvon (the largest town of the Gascoyne region) to help open a new Union Bank branch. In 1907, Angelo left the bank and went into business on his own, eventually coming to hold commercial interests in Carnarvon and the surrounding region. He served on the Carnarvon Municipal Council for a number of years, including as mayor from 1910 to 1915.
