Edmund de Ferrers, 6th Baron Ferrers of Chartley (1386–1435) was the son of Robert de Ferrers, 5th Baron Ferrers of Chartley and Margaret Le Despenser, a daughter of Edward le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer.
He inherited the title of Baron Ferrers of Chartley upon his father's death in 1413 but was never summoned to parliament.

The couple had two sons, Edmund (to whom his estates were entailed) and William (who became William, 7th Baron Ferrers of Chartley) as well as one daughter, Margaret de Ferrers, who married John Beauchamp, 1st Baron Beauchamp of Powick becoming Lady Beaucamp of Powick.
