Edythe Colton "Edie" Harrison (born September 17, 1934) is an American politician who served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 1980 to 1983. She lost renomination to Tom Moss in 1982 after the state's House district maps were redrawn. In 1984, she ran for United States Senate, losing to the Republican incumbent, John Warner.

In 1974, Harrison worked to found the Virginia Opera Association and led a fundraising campaign to restore the Norfolk Municipal Auditorium for the company's new home, the Harrison Opera House.
