Edward M. Doe (January 20, 1850 – July 27, 1919) was an American jurist who served as an Associate Justice on the Arizona Territorial Supreme Court from 1909 till Arizona statehood in 1912.
Doe was born to Dr. John and Lemira (Damon) Doe in Cabot, Vermont on January 20, 1850. During the early 1850s, his family moved to Iowa City, Iowa. Doe was educated in local schools before graduating from the State University of Iowa (now University of Iowa) in 1870. He received a Doctor of law from the same institution in 1871. Doe was admitted to the Iowa bar the same year he received his law degree and practiced law in Iowa City. On June 5, 1884, Doe married Lida Young. Fraternally, he was a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
In 1885, Doe moved to Fort Worth, Texas. Two years later he moved to Prescott, Arizona Territory and formed a law partnership with W. G. Stewart. In Prescott, Doe quickly became a leader in the territorial bar association. With the creation of Coconino county in 1891, Governor John N. Irwin appointed Doe the county's first district attorney. The next year he was elected to a full term. Doe was narrowly defeated by Henry F. Ashurst in the 1904 and 1906 elections for the office. He was elected to another term as district attorney in 1908.
President William Howard Taft nominated Doe to replace Richard E. Sloan as an Associate Justice of the Arizona Territorial Supreme Court on May 8, 1909. He received Senate confirmation on May 18 and was assigned to the fourth district, covering Apache, Coconino, Mohave, Navajo, and Yavapai counties.
