Edward Wienholt (1833–1904) was a politician in Queensland, Australia. He was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
Wienholt was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly in Western Downs at the 1868 colonial election on 14 September. The Western Downs seat was abolished at the 1873 election, and Weinholt contested and won Darling Downs on 4 November 1873. Wienhold was an adherent of Sir Arthur Palmer, who served as Premier of Queensland from 1870 to 1874. Wienhold supported free trade and the rights of landholders, and the restriction of free education. He held the seat until he resigned on 1 February 1875 as he intended to travel to Europe.[1][2][3][4]
