Edward Daniel Hamilton Vibart was a British military officer of the British East India Company, best known as a witness and chronicler of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, called by the British the "Sepoy Mutiny". At the time of the rebellion, Vibart was 19 years old, and a company commander in the 54th Bengal Native Infantry. Vibart's observations provide some of the best records of the violence committed by both sides during the rebellion.^[1]

Vibart's father, Major Edward Vibart, served in the 2nd Bengal Cavalry, and was executed on 1 July 1857 while being held prisoner by the rebels following his capture during the massacre at Kanpur on 27 June.^[2]
