Edwin John Luce (1881 in Saint Lawrence, Jersey – 1918) was a writer and journalist in Jerriais, the Norman language of Jersey. He was known to his friends as Jock Luce, and wrote under the pen name of Elie.
E. J. Luce reported on many matters in the Etats de Jersey, on the Royal Court, on the Magistrate's Court and the Parish Assemblies. As an editor for Nouvelle Chronique as well as Chroniques de Jersey, he wrote on the events of the day.
From 1900 his poetry in Jerriais appeared in the almanacs of the Nouvelle Chronique de Jersey. He was a man of extraordinary qualities and a gifted writer in English, French and Jerriais, who also possessed a remarkable understanding of human nature. His prose and poetry aroused the admiration of other writers in the dialect of Jersey and those who claim that the dialect has neither grammar nor orthography will be convinced otherwise by reading his work.
He was the brother of Philippe William Luce.
